Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Wednesday 28.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Be careful in sun exposed steep slopes.

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)

Loose 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 27. April 2021

Snøoverflata er for det meste smelteomvandla og hard etter mildvær med påfølgande gjenfrysing. Høgt til fjells i skuggesider kan det framleis vere turr og hard fokksnø.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 27. April 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from north. -10 °C to 3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 28. April 2021

1-4 mm precipitation. -8 °C to 0 °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

Låge nattetemperaturar har ført til gjenfrysing og ei kald og stabil snøoverflate. Det kjem litt nysnø, og det kan ta litt tid før denne festar seg til gamalt snødekke, men dette er så lite at det vil ikkje utgjere noko skredproblem.
