Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. Use caution in steep terrain with fresh wind slabs in the alpine.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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.

Snøoverflata er vindpåvirket og det ligger mest snø i høyden i østvendte heng. Ellers avblåst barmark eller gammel skare. God såle fra ca. 500 moh med skiføre i lefomasjoner. Over 1000-1100 moh er det jevnt skiføre og mer snø.

Fredag meldes det om fravær av skredaktivitet siste døgn under 1000moh.

Natt til fredag var det opp i 7 varmegrader på 200 moh i Hunnedalen. Det meldes om fortsatt lite snø i terrenget selv om det kom påfyll denne uken.

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

Nedbør og vind fra sørvest gir fokksnøflak over mildværsgrensa. Det vil være lett å løse ut skred for skiløper i fersk fokksnø noen steder, og enkelte skred kan bli store. Det er i hovedsak den ferskeste snøen som er ustabil mens eldre flak stabiliseres.

Mildværet på kvelden er kortvarig og det ventes ikke våte skred.
