Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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 2. March 2021

Snødekket er smelteomdanna til fjelltopphøgde. Sol og mild luft har varma snøoverflata på dagtid, medan klarvér om natta fører til utstråling og tilfrysing. Snøoverflata varierer dermed mellom våt snø og berande skare.

Det er lite eller ingen snø igjen i lavlandet. Også i fjellet er det lite snø for årstida.

Tirsdag morgen var temperaturen på Blåsjø (1105 moh) i Bykle -3 grader, og vinden hadde stilna heilt (0 m/s).

Mountain weather

Tuesday 2. March 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -3 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Wednesday 3. March 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -5 °C to 0 °C at 1100 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

Snødekket er stort sett stabilt, men varme og solinnstråling kan gi nokre laussnøskred, spesielt i solvendt, bratt terreng.

Oppsprekt og våt snø som ligg på glatte, bratte sva kan vere eit varsel om glideskred (snø som glir på bakken). Unngå opphold under slike område.
