Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

Glide avalanches

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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

Regn i snøen opprettholder faren for våte skred. Det kan være lett å løse ut skred i bratte heng. På utsatte plasser kan skred også løsne av seg selv.

Mot fjelltopphøyde kan ny snø og vind danne ferske nysnøflak. Her kan det være lett å løse ut mindre skred i den nye snøen.

Fortsatt fare for glideskred. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
