Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Monday 30.05.2022

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

Det kan være mulig å løse ut mindre våte skred i bratte fjellsider når temperaturen stiger og sola tar tak utover dagen.
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.
