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.

Avalanche risk assessment

Skiløpere kan lett løse ut middels store skred i døgnferske nysnøflak i leområder mot SØ. Skred som løsner kan bli middels store. Onsdagens nysnøflak i nordvendte leheng stabiliseres gradvis, og er vanskelig å løse ut.
