Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some new snow in small bowls and gullies. Risk of small avalanches here. In other terrain features, there is less or no snow

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)

Tuesday 6. 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 kun 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

Tuesday 6. December 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from north. -13 °C to -6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 7. December 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from north. -18 °C to -10 °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

I indre og høytliggende deler (Finse og Haukelifjell) ligger det små fokksnøflak i enkelte forsenkninger, renner og botner i alle himmelretninger. Disse vil nå være vanskelig å løse ut.

Ellers i regionen er det svært lite snø.
