Avalanche warning for region Vest-Telemark Monday 29.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but danger of wet avalanches in steep terrain. Sun-exposed mountainsides are most exposed, especially during the afternoon. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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 28. May 2023

Snøgrensen ligger nå på ca. 1000 moh, men det er stor forskjell på sørvendt og nordvendt terreng. Råtten snø i nærheten av rabber og steiner. Bærende snø i høyfjellet på større snøflater.
Snødekket er vått, isotermt og uten kritisk lagdeling. Bekker begynner å bli åpne, og det er mange steder overvann på islagte vann.

Snødekket er smelteomvandlet til bakken.

Lørdag meldes det om fremdeles godt skiføre i høyfjellet.

Mountain weather

Monday 29. May 2023

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -1 °C to 10 °C at 1100 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

Generelt stabile forhold. Skredfaren varierer og avhenger av solinnstråling, graden av nattefrost og lufttemperatur. Vær forsiktig i bratt terreng med våt og myk snøoverflate. Her kan skiløpere løse ut våte løssnøskred.
Hold avstand til skavler.
