Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The snowpack is mostly thin and stable. There might be a few isolated pockets of unstable snow at high elevation on the mainland.

Persistent weak layer (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) Remote triggering is possible.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 3. December 2022

Det er lite snø i regionen. Generelt er det høyere snøgrense og mer snø inn mot fastlandet enn ut mot kysten. Snøgrensa er typisk rundt ca. 400-500 moh.
Det har kommet en lite dryss nysnø i høyden de siste dagene. Denne kan ha lagt seg på kantkorn og rim. Under dette består snødekket generellt av skare og kantkorn.

Det er observert nedføyket rim på Fløya torsdag kveld. Utbredelsen på dette er svært usikker. Det er kun få steder det er nok med snø oppå dette laget for at det skal være et skredproblem.

Mountain weather

Saturday 3. December 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the south during the evening. -13 °C to -1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Det er generelt stabile forhold. Det er generelt lite snø i terrenget. På de høyeste toppene på fastlandet kan det ha dannet seg små flak som ligger på kantkorn eller rim. Disse vil i så fall være lette å løse ut.
