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 23. January 2022

Det er generelt lite snø i regionen med ujevn snøfordeling. Skare og oppstikkende stein i skogen, på flater og i vestvendt terreng. Tykkere og sammenhengdende snødekke i østvendte leformasjoner over 1200 moh. lengst vest i regionen.

Over 1200 moh finnes vedvarende svake lag under fokksnøen.

Lørdag ble det observert et naturlig utløst str. 2 skred i østvendt terreng ved Bjøberg på ca 1300 moh.

Søndag morgen var det -1,5 grader på 1344 moh i Hemsedal.

Avalanche risk assessment

Mildvær fortsetter å ha en stabiliserende effekt på snødekket. Skredproblemene er tilstede i formasjoner hvor det finnes sammenhengende skiføre. Det kreves i hovedsak stor tilleggsbelastning for å løse ut skred, men enkelte steder kant kantkorn påvirkes på tynt snødekke. Lengst vest i regionen kan nysnø og kraftig vind danne små fokksnøflak.
