Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in terrain with fresh storm slabs until the new snow is stabilized.

Avalanche problems

New 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).

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 21. December 2020

Snødekket varierar i regionen. I ytre strok er det lite snø, mens snøgrensa ligg på 700 moh i indre delar av regionen. Snøoverflata vart fukta til topps i helga og under 1000 moh er snøpakken generelt gjennomfukta.

I Røldal er det observert kantkornlag over skare djupt i snødekket. Laget er tydeleg mellom 900-1100 moh, men utbreiinga er usikker. Etter mildvêr i helga kan ein anta at det er øydelagt opp til 1000 moh.

Observert glideskred på 900moh søndag.

Stadvis mykje nedbør og sterk vind med skiftande retning vil legge opp ferske nysnøflak i alle himmelretningar.
