Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Wednesday 08.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stabile conditions. Be aware in sun-exposed aspects for natural triggered avalanches.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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 7. May 2019

Snødekkket er gjennomfrosset med stedvis noe fuktig nysnø på toppen. Snømengdene minket betydelig forrige uke og man finner nå sammenhengende snødekke stort sett bare i heng mot nord til øst. I andre himmelretninger er det bare snø av betydelig mengde i renner og lune formasjoner. I solvendt terreng er det lite snø under 1300 moh.

Natt til tirsdag var det ned mot 5 minusgrader i regionen.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 7. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -9 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 8. May 2019

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from west, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -10 °C to -1 °C at 1400 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

Nattefrost gir stort sett tilfrosset snødekke som bløtes litt opp utover dagen, spesielt i solhellingene. Generelt vil faren for våtsnøskred og skavlbrekk være liten, og kun utgjøre et skredproblem i de områdene som fortsatt har snømengder av betydning.
