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)

Saturday 11. December 2021

Det er generelt lite snø i regionen, men på grunn av kraftig vind den siste perioden er det lokalt mye snø i forsenkninger og renner. Under 600 moh ligger siste dagers nysnø på bar bakke. Fra 600 moh er snøfordelingen ujevn og flekkvis.

Det er observert kantkorn ved bakken i Sirdal, og dette kan være et større problem i indre strøk i høyfjellet.

Mountain weather

Saturday 11. December 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from east. -14 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 12. December 2021

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 900 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southeast during the afternoon. -5 °C to -1 °C at 1100 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

Noe nedbør vil kunne danne ferske nysnøflak i høyden som kan være lette å løse ut for en skikjører. Under mildværsgrensen vil snøen kunne destabiliseres av stigende temperaturer og regn utover ettermiddagen og kvelden. Det forventes å komme mest regn der det er minst snø. Skredfaren vil være høyest når temperaturen stiger ut på kvelden, og der det kommer mye nedbør.
