Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Monday 03.05.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions.

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)

Sunday 2. May 2021

Snøoverflaten er for det meste smelteomvandlet og hard etter mildvær med påfølgende gjenfrysing. Høyt til fjells kan det fortsatt være tørr fokksnø i skyggesider.

Mountain weather

Sunday 2. May 2021

1-3 mm precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -8 °C to 4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 3. May 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -7 °C to 3 °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

Der sola tar godt kan en skiløper løse ut små våte skred i bratte solhellinger hvor snøoverflaten blir våt og myk, men pga meldt tilskying vil nok snødekket holde seg hardt i det meste av området.

Noen få cm nysnø vil ikke påvirke skredfaren.
