Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Thursday 09.12.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Wednesday 8. December 2021

Lørdag morgen kom det 20-30 cm lett nysnø i Hemsedal, som er i ferd med å bli vindpåvirket onsdag. Det var generelt lite snø fra før, med mye vegetasjon og oppstikkende steiner. Det er kun i skjerma leformasjoner man finner fast underliggende snø.

I små søkk ble det 4.og 6.des observert kantkorn rundt skare under fokksnøflak, men utbredelsen er svært begrenset og vurderes derfor ikke som et aktuelt skredproblem.

Onsdag blåser det opptil 10 m/s ved Hemsedal skisenter (1344moh)

Mountain weather

Wednesday 8. December 2021

2-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from east. -16 °C to -10 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 9. December 2021

3-5 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from east. -12 °C to -9 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Det ventes at en skiløper kan påvirke fokksnøflakene som ble dannet onsdag. Men det er lite snø i fjellet og problemet begrenset til noen få heng der østavinden har vært sterk nok til å flytte snø. Vær også oppmerksom på at det kan ligge kantkorn under fokksnøen i små forsenkninger.
