Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Tuesday 01.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally thin snow cover, but be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

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)

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)

Monday 30. November 2020

Måndag kom det eit lite dryss med nysnø. Før det var det stort sett skare på snøoverflata. Generelt lite snø i terrenget. Ein lyt over 1200 moh for å finne større område med samanhengande snø, og då kun i aust- og nordaustvendte leheng.

I helga har det blitt observert rimdanning på overflata.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 1. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -8 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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 finst små fokksnøflak i leområde i høgfjellet. Skredproblemet har lita utbreiing, men vil typisk vere tilstades i dei områda som har samla så mykje snø at det er skiføre.
