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)

Saturday 19. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt tynt, hardt og preget av mye vind. Det er fuktig snøoverflate til topps på grunn av mildvær. Under skoggrensen er det bare delvis snødekt. I fjellet er det mer sammenhengende skiføre, men rygger og vindutsatte områder er isete eller snøfrie.

Det er observert kantkorn enkelte steder under 1400moh men utbredelsen virker å være begrenset.

Mountain weather

Saturday 19. December 2020

15 mm precipitation, up to 30 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from south. -1 °C to 6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 20. December 2020

5 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from south. -4 °C to 0 °C at 1400 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

Snødekket stabiliserer seg når temperaturen synker og det er mindre fare for naturlig utløste skred. Fortsatt nedbør og vind vil gi enkelte nysnøflak over mildværsgrensa. Der nedbøren kommer som regn kan det gå små våte løssnøskred.
