Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Thursday 16.02.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow,

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).

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Wednesday 15. February 2023

Det er skare på snøoverflata etter mildver opp til 1200 moh. Snøen har blitt gjennomfukta. På dei høgaste toppane finst det framleis tørr snø. Den ferskaste fokksnøen finst i austvendte heng.

Det finst svakt lag av kantkorn ved bakken. Dette laget har blitt fukta og er mest truleg på veg til å bil smelteomdanna.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 15. February 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the south during the afternoon. -6 °C to 3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 16. February 2023

2 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during renoon. Fresh breeze from west. -5 °C to 0 °C at 1100 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

Det kjem litt nysnø, men mest truleg ikkje nok til å auke skredfaren noko vesentleg. På dei aller høgaste toppane kan det framleis vere mogeleg å løyse ut skred i den eldre tørre fokksnøen. Høge temperaturar gjer at snøen stabiliserar seg raskt.

Det finst svakt lag av kantkorn ved bakken, men dette laget er vanskeleg å påverke.
