Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Tuesday 09.06.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but small wet avalanches, cornice fall and glide avalanches are possible. Most likely in the afternoon.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Loose 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 8. June 2020

Fortsatt svært mye snø i høyfjellet for årstiden, snø over ca 800 moh og skiføre over ca 1000 moh. Bart i sørsider og på rygger. Tynnere snødekke er grovkorna uten lagdeling og mer råtten. Nysnø over 1200 moh. Våt kompakt snø, fortsatt bra skiføre,

Fortsatt store toppskavlar enkelte stader, men mange har ramla ned. Det er færre sigesprekker, men fortsatt noen rapportert.

Mountain weather

Monday 8. June 2020

2 mm precipitation, up to 7 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from west. 2 °C to 8 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 9. June 2020

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. 3 °C to 12 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Generelt stabile forhold, men det kan likevel være mulig å løse ut små våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng. Under sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred og noen skavler skal fortsatt ned.
