  • The danger is greatest from Wednesday morning

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

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)

Tuesday 6. December 2022

Det er varierende snødybde, men generelt lite snø for årstiden. I høyereliggende områder er det noen få steder observert opptil en halv til en meter snø i skjerma formasjoner vendt mot sørvest. Ellers er det mest snø i høyfjellet og lengst øst i regionen, men kun beskjedne mengder.

Det er observert dannelse av overflaterim flere steder i regionen, stort sett på mykt underlag. Flere steder består den lille snøen som er mye av kantkorn.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 6. December 2022

1-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l Tuesday night. Fresh breeze from northwest. -15 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 7. December 2022

2 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from northwest. -18 °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

I høyfjellet vil nordvest vind og litt nysnø lokalt danne enkelte myke nysnøflak. Der disse legger seg over rim i den gamle snøoverflaten vil det være lett å løse ut skred. Utbredelsen vil fortsatt være begrenset, og skredene forventes å bli små.
Husk at det ikke er såle i terrenget og at selv små skred kan få store konsekvenser pga oppstikkende steiner.
