Avalanche warning for region Hardanger Monday 05.12.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally thin snow cover, but be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

Sunday 4. December 2022

Det er svært lite snø for årstiden. Plussgrader og regn til fjelltopphøyde har smeltet eller omdannet snøen som kom tidligere i høst. Det er bare mulig å finne sammenhengende skiføre på breer og forsenkninger med snø fra forrige vinter. I indre deler av regionen har det kommet noen cm nysnø over 1000 moh som har lagt seg på frossen bakke.

Mountain weather

Sunday 4. December 2022

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southeast. -17 °C to -6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Monday 5. December 2022

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the north during the evening. -13 °C to -4 °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

I indre og høytliggende deler (Finse og Haukelifjell) ligger det stedvis fokksnø i leheng. Mest utsatt er heng mot N og V.
Litt ny snø i høyden kan utover dagen fornye problemet og gi noen mindre flakdannelser i nye hengretninger.
Ellers i regionen er det svært lite snø.
