Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Friday 27.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Increasing temperatures during daytime give danger of small 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)

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

Nattefrost vil gi stabilt snødekke første del av dagen. Når temperaturen stiger og solinnstrålingen øker utover dagen kan det være mulig å løse ut mindre 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.
