Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab 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)

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

Mye nedbør siste dager har gitt nysnø over ca 600 moh. Denne er nå våt og fuktig under ca 1000 moh. Over dette har vind fra SV lagt opp fokksnø i lesider. Over ca 1200 moh lå det stedvis igen et gammelt snødekke fra oktober. Dette tynne flekkvise snødekket besto av ca 10-50 cm igjenfrosne smelteformer og utgjorde et bærende skarelag. Stor variasjon i regionen og mest i konkave formasjoner som samler snø mot N-Ø.

Ingen svake lag observert

Ingen skredaktivitet observert

Lørdag morgen viser observasjons-data 20-30 mm nedbør siste døgn i regionen i kombinasjon med opp i liten kuling fra S-SV i høyfjellet..

Mountain weather

Saturday 1. December 2018

14 mm precipitation, up to 30 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from southwest. -6 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 2. December 2018

10 mm precipitation, up to 18 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -11 °C to -1 °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

Snøskredfaren ventes å avta noe, men nysnøen vil kunne gi små nysnøflak som vil være mulig for en enkelt skiløper å løse bak rygger og på vindutsatte steder som samler fokksnø .Det forventes nå at det skal mer til å løse ut fokksnøen fra fredag.
