Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Monday 21. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt tynt og overflata varierer mellom glatt, hardpakka og isete til mjukare snø. Snøgrensa ligg på 500 - 800 moh., lågast i indre deler av regionen. Mest snø finn ein i Sunndalsfjella. Det er lite snø i ytre strøk,

Det har vore kantkorning i snødekket, men det er førebels ikkje eit problem.

Mountain weather

Monday 21. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Strong breeze from southwest. -7 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 22. December 2020

6-9 mm precipitation. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -7 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Sterk vind med endrande retning og litt nedbør vil gje snøtransport og pålagring i typiske leområder. Ein kan vente ustabile nysnøflak som stadvis kan ligge på glatt skare og soleis vere lette å løyse ut.
