Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Wednesday 1. December 2021

Natt til tysdag kom det 10 cm nysnø, det låg også noko nysnø frå tidlegare. Mange stader ligg denne laussnøen rett på bakken og det er kun i enkelte skjerma leformasjonar ein finn fast underliggande snø. Det er generelt lite snø i regionen.

Onsdag formiddag bles det lett bris frå NV i Hemsedal - Hollekolten (807 moh)

Mountain weather

Wednesday 1. December 2021

No precipitation. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 2. December 2021

No precipitation. 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

Sterk vind vil flytte laussnøen som kom tidlegare i veka og vil danne ferske fokksnøflak over tregrensa. Det var lite snø frå før i terrenget, men den laussnøen som fantes vil no bli flytta inn i leheng og danne flak. Her kan det være lett å løse ut skred.
