Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions, be careful in lee areas with fresh wind deposited snow/storm slabs.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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)

Friday 24. December 2021

Det ligger ca 10-20 cm nysnø i terrenget, mest i leområder mot S og Ø. Etter mildvær opp til ca 1500 moh 19. desember er det gamle snødekket smelteomdanna med hard bærende skare.

Under ca. 700 moh er det lite eller ingen såle.

Det ble observert noen str. 1 løssnøskred ved Standalseidet torsdag da sola kom frem.

Observasjoner fra Standalseidet torsdag forteller om 20 cm ubunden nysnø til høyt til fjells.

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

Snøbyger fra nordvest kan sammen med vind raskt danne ustabile nysnøflak. Disse flakene vil være lette å påvirke for en skiløper mens bygene pågår. Bygevær gir store lokale forskjeller. Der det kommer lite nysnø eller det ikke blåser, vil det være vanskeleigere å løse ut skred i nysnøen.
