Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Saturday 21.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Rain may cause naturally triggered avalanches. Avoid areas beneath cornices.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Friday 20. May 2022

Lengst vest i regionen finnes det fremdeles sammenhengende områder med snø i øst-, og nordvendt terreng over 1200 moh. Etter en snøfattig vinter er det nå lite snø igjen øst i regionen.
Snøoverflaten består av smelteformer som har gjennomgått flere smelte/fryse runder. På større snøfelt kan snøen være bærende, men mange steder er snødekket råttent, spesielt i nærheten av vegetasjon og steiner.

Mountain weather

Friday 20. May 2022

4 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from southeast. 0 °C to 14 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 21. May 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 18 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1600 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from southeast. 0 °C to 6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Der nedbør kommer som regn forventes det noen naturlig utløste våte snøskred. På de høyeste fjelltoppene ventes nysnø å binde seg godt til underliggende snø.
Skavler vil svekkes av regn og kan brekke.
