Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Thursday 03.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with recent wind slabs. The wind is picking up and turns to southeasterly direction. Snow precipitation particles will blow towards sheltered areas. Also, snow on the ground will be eroded and deposited in wind sheltered slopes.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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

På snøoverflata er det skare høgt til fjells, med nysnømengder på toppen som aukar med høgda. Snøgrensa i ytre strøk, td. ved Rosendal, ligg på ca. 1000 moh. I indre strøk, td. ved Røldal, er det skiføre frå 6-700 moh.

Det er gode bindingar mellom lag i underliggande snø.

På Rødalsfjellet (1370 moh) bles det onsdag føremiddag frisk bris frå sør.

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

Vinden aukar og dreier til søraustleg retning. Særleg nysnø, men også snø som ligg på bakken frå før, vil fyke over i nye leområde. Der snødekket er samanhengande, kan ein lett løyse ut middels store skred i fersk fokksnø.

Nokre skred kan òg lausne naturleg.
