Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Sunday 06.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally thin snow cover, but be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

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)

Saturday 5. December 2020

De siste dager har det kommet 5 - 10 cm snø i regionen. Det er fremdeles generelt lite snø i terrenget med synlig vegetasjon og steiner. Man må over 1200 moh for å finne områder av en viss størrelse med sammenhengende eldre snø, og da avgrenset til øst- og nordøstvendte leheng.

På Honnegrasnuten (1340 moh) er det lørdag formiddag oppholdsvær, -6 grader og lite vind.

Mountain weather

Saturday 5. December 2020

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 finnes det fortsatt enkelte områder med ustabile fokksnøflak i leområder. Lite vind og gunstig temperatur gjør at fokksnøen stabiliseres og skredfaren avtar.
