Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Saturday 01.12.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally thin snow cover, but be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow.

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)

Friday 30. November 2018

Regionen er preget av lite snø. Over ca 900-1000 moh kan det være små lommer med snø i terrenget. Det gamle snødekket har vært gjennom mildvær med påfølgende gjenfrysing og er i stor grad hardt og stabilt. Det siste døgnet har det kommet 1-5 cm nysnø.

Det er observert overflaterim i enkelte nordlige fjellsider etter klarvær og kulde siste uken.

Fredag har det vært sørøstlig frisk bris på Hemsedal skisenter, 1344 moh.

Mountain weather

Friday 30. November 2018

3 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from southeast. -3 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l.

Saturday 1. December 2018

1-3 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest. -7 °C to -3 °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

Det ventes noe pålagring i fjellsider vendt mot N-NØ, men de ferske fokksnøflakene ventes å feste seg relativt raskt til den gamle fokksnøen fra de siste dagene. Det kan finnes rimlag under den ferske fokksnøen, men utbredelsen er nok begrenset.
