Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Wednesday 01.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Small amounts of snow, low avalanche danger.

Avalanche problems

New snow (loose snow 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)

Loose 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 30. November 2021

Natt til tysdag kom det opp til 35 cm nysnø i regionen. Mange stader ligg denne laussnøen rett på bakken og det er kun i leområder i høgfjellet ein finn fast underliggande snø. Det er generelt lite snø i regionen.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 1. December 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from north. -14 °C to -7 °C at 1100 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

Det kan vere mogeleg å løyse ut laussnøskred i snøen som kom natt til tysdag i bratt terreng. Det er lite underliggande snø, og der det ligg flak under nysnøen er desse stort sett stabile.
