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)

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)

Thursday 23. December 2021

Snøpakka ble gjennomfuktet opp til omtrent 1200 moh under mildværet forrige uke og har nå frosset til. På de høyeste toppene kan det ligge noe fokksnø. Det er ikke et sammenhengende snødekke, stein og vegetasjon stikker opp flere steder.

Siden mildværet i forrige uke har det vært kaldt, stabilt vær.

Mountain weather

Thursday 23. December 2021

1-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from southeast. -12 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 24. December 2021

No precipitation. Strong breeze from northeast, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during renoon. -18 °C to -8 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

En del vind kan føre til at det som har kommet av nysnø de siste dagene flyttes til leheng som ustabile fokksnøflak. Lite tilgjengelig løssnø fører til at ustabile flak vil være få og små.
