Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (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)

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)

Tuesday 14. February 2023

Snøen er preget av mildvær sist helg. Selv opp til 1200 moh i indre områder har nedbøren kommet som regn. Hele snødekket er smelteomdannet opp til minst 900 moh. Over 1000 moh kom det litt nysnø mandag og stedvis ligger det tynne fokksnøflak i de høyeste fjellområdene.

Det ventes at tidligere observert kantkorn nede i snødekket ikke påvirker skredproblemene etter mildvær i helga.

Det ble observert ca 10 cm nysnø over 1000 moh. i Myrkdalen mandag.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 15. February 2023

7-10 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from south, changing to strong breeze from the south during the afternoon. -2 °C to 3 °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

Rundt de høyeste toppene kan det ligge vindtransportert snø som det kan være mulig løse ut skred i. Omfanget er trolig svært begrenset. Litt nysnø og vind onsdag kan gi nye ferske flak i de samme områdene, men evt skred som er lette å løse ut ventes ikke å bli større enn str. 1

Der snøoverflata er er våt, kan kan en skiløper løse ut løssnøskred i svært bratt terreng.
