Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Saturday 02.12.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally safe avalanche conditions.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

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)

Friday 1. December 2023

Det fortsatt lite snø med oppstikkende busker og kvister. Vindpåvirket på utsatte steder, ellers ubunden snø i skogen. Vind fra øst de siste dagene, men mest vind fra vest tidligere som har lagt mest snø i østvendte heng. Siste snøfall var 22.-23.nov. fra vest.

Det er kantkorn langs bakken. Kaldt vær og tynt snødekke fører til en videre oppbyggende omvandling og danning av kantkorn.

Mountain weather

Friday 1. December 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from north. -21 °C to -9 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Saturday 2. December 2023

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from northwest. -15 °C to -7 °C at 1100 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

Det er generelt stabilt og lite snø i regionen. Det finnes vedvarende svakt lag med kantkorn ved bakken og sjikt i fokksnøen, men det er generelt vanskelig å påvirke. Lite snø begrenser skredstørrelsen.
