  • The danger is greatest from Thursday afternoon

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

Wednesday 6. March 2024

Snøoverflaten varierer slik den ofte gjør på våren. I lavere høydenivå og i solvendt bratt terreng er overflaten omvandlet og våt. I skyggerikt terreng i høyden består overflaten fortsatt av gammel fokksnø. Denne er generelt fuktig.
Våt overflate fryser til hard skare på natten når det er lite skyer og smelter utover dagen når temperaturen øker.

Det er observert flere glideskred og glidesprekker i regionen.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 6. March 2024

1-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Strong breeze from east, changing to breeze from the south during the evening. -9 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 7. March 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -12 °C to -1 °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

Skredfaren stiger utover dagen. På morgenen er snødekket hardt og skredfaren er lav. Utover dagen vil solen varme opp snøen og gjøre den myk og våt i bratt sør- og vestvendt terreng. Her kan det være lett å løse ut små våte løssnøskred.

Enkelte våte skred og glideskred kan også gå av seg selv. Unngå opphold i utløpsområder på ettermiddagen.
