Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Friday 24.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

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

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 det ligger løs snø fra de siste dager vil denne bli flyttet av vinden og danne fokksnøflak. En skiløper kan påvirker disse flakene, men det er likevel svært lite snø, så eventuelle flak vil være få og små.
Hard og isete overflate med oppstikkende stein kan gjøre at selv små skred kan få alvorlig konsekvens.
