Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Friday 12.06.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but small wet avalanches, cornice fall and glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Thursday 11. June 2020

Smelteomvandlet og vått snødekke. Man må høyt for å finne snø og skiføret er flekkvis også over 1200moh. Lite snø i sydlig sektor.

Homogent snødekke og ingen lagdeling.

Lite skredaktivitet siste tida, men enkelte små skred under skavlfall.

Mer snø i vest enn i øst. Det er fortsatt store toppskavler enkelte steder, men mange har ramla ned.

Mountain weather

Thursday 11. June 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from east. 4 °C to 14 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 12. June 2020

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. 4 °C to 16 °C at 1400 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

Varmen holder seg. Det kan løsne små våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng. Under sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred og noen skavler kan fortsatt falle ned.
