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, men overflata blir våtere ved langvarig varme. I bratt terreng kan det løsne våte løssnøskred. Glideskred er fortsatt mulig under glidesprekker og enkelt skavler kan falle ned.
