Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Thursday 25. March 2021

Snøoverflata er våt eller består av skare etter mildvær opptil 1100-1200 moh de siste dagene. Topper og rygger er avblåst. Det ligger mest snø i nordvendte leheng, men det er store variasjoner i regionen. Det eldre snødekket er smelteomvandla til fjelltopphøyde. Det er lite snø under 500 moh, og generelt lite snø for årstida.

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

Nedbør som regn høyt til fjells øker faren for våte løssnøskred, flakskred kan heller ikke utelukkes. Snødekket er allerede påvirket av mildvær tidligere men utvis forsiktighet i høydenivå der siste dagers nysnø blir våt for første gang. Vær også oppmerksom på at skavler svekkes i regnværet.
