Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Monday 29.04.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Warm daytime-temperatures and solar radiation give increased danger of wet avalanches.

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)

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)

Sunday 28. April 2019

Høye temperaturer og regn har gjort at snøoverflaten består av ulike smelteformer i alle høydenivå og himmelretninger. Den siste uken har snømengden i regionen minket betydelig. Sammenhengende skiføre finner man fra ca 1100 moh med mest snø i N og Ø.

Observasjoner 25.04 beretter om et snødekke som drenerer vann godt.
I Hemsedal har det ikke vært minusgrader på 1500 moh siste tre døgn.

Mountain weather

Sunday 28. April 2019

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from east. 2 °C to 8 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 29. April 2019

No precipitation. Breeze from northeast. 1 °C to 12 °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

Regnet gir seg, men temperaturen holder seg høy. Snødekket er fremdeles ustabilt og vil mange steder fremstå som råttent. Faren for naturlig utløste skred vil avta, men i bratt snødekt terreng vil det fremdeles være sannsynlig med skredaktivitet ved skiferdsel.
Vær oppmerksom på skavlbrekk.
