Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Thursday 17.05.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Remember that small avalanches can be dangerous in terrain traps.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose snow

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Wednesday 16. May 2018

Snødekket er vått og smelteomvandlet til topps. Observasjon fra tirsdag viser at snødekket er isotermt hvertfall opp til 1500 moh. Det begynner å bli lite snø i sydsider. Skiføre av betydning finnes stort sett bare i fjellsider vendt mot N og Ø. I høyfjellet kan det finnes rester av lagdelinger og skarelag i snødekket, men utbredelsen er nok svært begrenset.

På Finse er det målt nattefrost natt til onsdag.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 16. May 2018

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. 0 °C to 8 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 17. May 2018

No precipitation. Breeze from northeast. 0 °C to 9 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Sol og varme temperaturer høyt til fjells varmer opp snøoverflaten og kan gi våte løssnøskred. Snødekket drenerer vann godt. Vær oppmerksom på skavlbrudd og glideskred. Øst i regionen er det generelt lite snø i fjellet, så her vil nok disse problemene ha liten utbredelse.
