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)

Saturday 6. March 2021

Før lørdagens snøfall var snødekket smelteomdannet til fjelltopphøyde. Der det ikke danner seg fokksnøflak er snødekket stabilt og svært vanskelig å påvirke ved ferdsel. Utsatte steder som snø på svaunderlag, svært bratte heng og skavler kan løsne når sola tar. Det er lite eller ingen snø i lavlandet under 500 moh. Også i fjellet er det lite snø for årstida.

Mountain weather

Saturday 6. March 2021

5 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Moderate gale from northwest. -5 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 7. March 2021

No precipitation. Strong breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the north during the afternoon. -8 °C to -2 °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

Vind fra nordvest fortsetter oppbygginga av fokksnøflak i sørøstvendte leheng. Ein skiløpar kan lett løyse ut skred i leheng. Der det er lite snø i terrenget fra før kan konsekvensane av å bli tatt av skred bli store.
