Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Tuesday 29.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Small wind slabs in western parts of the region are likely to be ski triggered. Be aware of small wet avalanches In sun exposed steep terrain.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab 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)

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some 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)

Monday 28. March 2022

Snøoverflaten er preget av smelteformer etter varme og gjenfrysing på natta. Over på mildværsgrensa, høyt til fjells, ligger noe fersk fokksnø i østvendt terreng over eldre hard fokksnø. Snøfordelingen er ujevn, med mest snø i østvendt terreng. Snømengden øker vestover i regionen. Vindutsatte formasjoner har skare, hard fokksnø eller er avblåst.

Mildvær den siste perioden har nøytalisert svake lag høyt i snødekket, men det finnes kantkorn og begerkrystaller dypere i snødekket. På de høyeste toppnene, lengst vest i regionen, kan vedvarende svake lag finnes i øvre del av snødekket.

Mountain weather

Monday 28. March 2022

3-6 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Gale from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -9 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 29. March 2022

2-4 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the north during renoon. -14 °C to -7 °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

Kaldere vær gjør at fersk vindtransportert snø i østvendt terreng, lengst vest regionen, stabiliseres saktere. Vær oppmerksom på utglidningsfare der snødekket er hardt.

I solvendt terreng utover dagen vil snøen kunne bli ustabil. Husk at selv små skred kan få store konsekvenser grunnet oppstikkende stein.
