Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Friday 24.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but wind slabs can be present in isolated features. Weak layers of facets may be present in the alpine, but is generally hard to trigger.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Buried weak layer of new 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 23. December 2021

Snøpakka ble gjennomfuktet opp til omtrent 1300 moh under mildværet forrige uke og har nå frosset til. Særlig under 1300-1400 moh er det få sammenhengende områder med snø og mye synlig stein og vegetasjon.

Over 1300 moh finnes kantkorn i nærheten av skarelag nedover i snøpakka. Bærende skarelag høyere opp i snødekket gjør det vanskelig å påvirke svake lag.

Siden mildværet i forrige uke har det vært kaldt, stabilt vær.

Mountain weather

Thursday 23. December 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from east. -16 °C to -8 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 24. December 2021

Little to no precipitation. Strong breeze from northeast, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during renoon. -21 °C to -9 °C at 1400 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

Det kan dannes ferske ustabile fokksnøflak grunnet sterk vind. Det har kommet lite nysnø i regionen siste tiden, så flakene vil være få og små.
Høyt til fjells kan det være mulig å påvirke svake lag av kantkorn ved stor tilleggsbelastning.
