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).

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)

Sunday 28. January 2024

Mildvær og regn opp til det høyeste toppene har gitt mye snøsmelting og et gjennomvått snødekke i lavere områder. Mildværsgrensen har variert mye gjennom uken. På de aller høyeste toppene er snøen mindre påvirket av mildvær.

Eventuelt kantkorn betraktes som nøytralisert av mildværet.

Mountain weather

Sunday 28. January 2024

Little to no precipitation. Strong breeze from south. -2 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 29. January 2024

8 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -6 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Skredfaren er størst tidlig på dagen. Synkende temperatur gir en gradvis stabilisering av snødekket utover dagen.

I bratte heng som har fått mye regn, og snøen er myk og løs, kan det være lett å løse ut våte skred for en skikjører eller turgåer.
