Avalanche warning for region Indre Sogn Wednesday 02.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some new snow, but generally stable conditions. Wind slabs in isolated areas are possible.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab 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)

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)

Tuesday 1. December 2020

Litt nysnø frå natt til måndag la seg på snøoverflata ned til 200 moh. I høgfjellet finn ein både laussnø og vindpakka mjuk snø i overflata. Under 1100 moh. er det skare under nysnøen. Underliggande snødekke har gode bindingar mellom laga.
Det ligg mest snø i aust- og nordaustvendte heng, men ein finn snø i alle himmleretningar. Skiføre frå om lag 400 moh.

Tysdag vert det observert rim på snøoverflata i høgfjellet.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 1. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -8 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Wednesday 2. December 2020

3 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from southwest. -7 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Litt snø kan gje små nysnøflak i fjellet. Enkelte stader kan det også ligge fokksnøflak som har blitt danna dei siste dagane, men desse vil mest truleg stabilisere seg fort. Underliggande snø vert rekna som stabil.
