Avalanche warning for region Svartisen Thursday 03.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The snow cover is very sparse. In the high alpine, smaller wind slabs can be triggered.

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)

Wednesday 2. December 2020

Onsdag er det igjen mildt og vindfullt og under skoggrensen er det svært lite eller ingen snø.

Over 500 moh ligger det en liten såle av skaresnø. Flekkvis ligger det noe mer snø i forsenkninger og her er det fokksnøansamlinger.

Det har vært vekslende temperaturer og nysnøgrensen går stadig opp og ned.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 2. December 2020

5 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from southwest. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 3. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Moderate gale from southeast. -7 °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

Skredfaren har begrenset utbredelse og er knyttet til enkelte heng mot de høyeste toppene. Her kan det ligge ustabil fokksnø i områder som samler snø.

Mildværet som var onsdag har trolig påvirket høyt til fjells og det kraftige vinden ventes å ha fraktet bort det mest av den løse snøen.
