Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Wednesday 15.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avalanches in steep terrain where the snow is wet. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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. May 2024

Snødekket preges av at det er varmt hele døgnet og det har smeltet en del snø de siste dagene. Det er fortsatt skiføre i høyfjellet. Det er best skiføre i nordlig sektor. I bratt og solrik terreng smelter snøen raskt.

I hovedsak består snødekket av grovkornet og smelteomvandlet snø.

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

Snødekket er generelt stabilt, men det kan være lett å løse ut små skred der snøen er veldig våt.

Vær obs på at selv små skred kan ha store konsekvenser om du er på feil sted, slik som i nærheten av terrengfeller.

Hold god avstand til skavler og glidesprekker. Med økende varme øker sannsynligheten for skavlbrudd og glideskred.
