The report highlights a significant avalanche risk in Hallingdal over the winter holiday weekend, with the danger level assessed at level 3 on the scale used by varsom.no. The risk is attributed to strong winds that are redistributing loose snow, making it prone to triggering avalanches in the region.

Particularly vulnerable areas are the northern and northeastern slopes, as indicated by the observations from Hemsedal which report sounds of cracking and collapses in the snowpack above the tree line. This suggests that the conditions may be unstable and raise a serious concern for anyone in those areas.

In light of the hazardous conditions, the public is being advised to steer clear of all avalanche terrain to ensure safety during this period. This warning emphasizes the importance of heeding local advisories in winter sports and outdoor activities, especially in avalanche-prone regions like Hallingdal.
