Avalanche warning for region Hallingdal Friday 31.03.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs. Small natural avalanches in sun-exposed mountainsides

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose 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)

Thursday 30. March 2023

Snøoverflaten varierer mellom fokksnø og ubunden snø. I lune formasjoner ligger det en god del ubunden snø, opp mot 30 cm. I utsatt terreng er det avblåst eller myke tynne flak.

Flere runder med mildvær de siste ukene har ført til flere skarelag i snødekket. I forbindelse med disse har det dannet seg kantkornlag. Disse er foreløpig vanskelige å påvirke og viser ingen faretegn.

Mountain weather

Thursday 30. March 2023

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. -14 °C to -6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 31. March 2023

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. -12 °C to -4 °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

Det ventes rolig vær og vind, men flak dannet tidligere i uka kan fortsatt være lette å løse ut noen få steder.

Vedvarende svake lag ligger under harde skarelag og er foreløpig vanskelige å påvirke.

Sol fører til at det er lett å løse ut små løssnøskred i sørvendte fjellsider.
