Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Sunday 02.12.2018

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

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

Avalanche problems

New 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)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Saturday 1. December 2018

Det er generelt mindre snø i regionen enn normalt. Over ca 1000 moh kan det være små lommer med snø i terrenget. I høyfjellet kan dette være vindpåvirket og ha lagt opp ferske flak, vesentlig i nordlige fjellsider. Det gamle snødekket under fokksnøen har tidligere vært gjennom mildvær og 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

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.

Sunday 2. December 2018

10-14 mm precipitation. Breeze from south. -12 °C to -2 °C at 1400 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

Det ventes noe pålagring i fjellsider vendt mot N, 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.
