Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Wednesday 29.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally safe conditions. The snowpack is sparse and primarily hard packed. Use caution on isolated slopes with fresh windslabs.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Tuesday 28. December 2021

Det er lite snø i regionen og spesielt vest i området er det begrenset skiføre under 1000 moh. Rundt Røldal er det flekkvis skare/smelteomvandlet snø.

Mandagens uvær har trolig lagt igjen noe fokksnø i forsenkninger. Men store områder ventes å være avblåste.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 28. December 2021

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l. Fresh breeze from southeast. -14 °C to -6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 29. December 2021

2-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during the evening. Breeze from southeast. -17 °C to -4 °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

Skredfaren minker raskt når været roer seg. Det vil generelt være vanskelig å løse ut skred i den ferske snøen.

Områder uten nysnø har svært stabile forhold.
