Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some new snow, but generally stable conditions. Wind slabs in isolated areas are possible.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Tuesday 22. December 2020

Siste dagene har mildvær høyt til fjells med påfølgende gjenfrysing ned til ca 1000 moh gitt et tynt skarelag mange steder. Tirsdag har det kommet nysnø i regionen med relativt lite vind. Gunstige temperaturer gjør nok at evt nysnøflak binder seg godt til skaren mange steder.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 22. December 2020

10-12 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the evening. -4 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 23. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -8 °C to -2 °C at 1100 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

Generelt stabile forhold. Lite nedbør gir stabilisering av nysnøflak fra de siste dagene.
