Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Tuesday 24.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Rain and heat give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet 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)

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.

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

Varme og regn til topps vil svekke bindinger i snødekket og gi våte skred i bratte fjellsider.
Vær oppmerksom på skavlbrudd og glideskred.
Glideskred er uforutsigbare og kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
Det ventes kun skredfare vest i regionen der det ligger mest snø.
