Avalanche risk assessment

NB: OPPDATERT 27.12. kl 10.
Mot kvelden ventes kraftig, kortvarig vind i indre strøk. Store naturlig utløste skred ventes.

Skredfaren er knyttet til helgens snøfall og hvor mye vinden har jobbet med snøen. Vær svært varsom der vinden har slått kompaniskap med nysnø og dannet ustabile fokksnøflak. Her kan det være lett å løse ut store skred.

Mange områder har trolig løse og flotte skiforhold.

Forholdene kan endre seg svært raskt om vinden plutselig danner fastere flak. Vær oppmerksom på endring i vindretning på kvelden.
