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 12. March 2022

De siste dagene har mildvær jobbet godt med snødekket, og påvirket snøen opp mot 1000 moh. I lavlandet er snødekket gjennomfuktet, gradvis mindre påvirket i høyden.

Det er observert kantkorn over rundt 500moh både rundt mildværsskare fra 23. januar og fra slutten av februar. Det er ikke observert skred eller faretegn på disse lagene i den siste tiden.

Mountain weather

Saturday 12. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -7 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 13. March 2022

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. -8 °C to 0 °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

Mildværet fortsetter og det er gode muligheter for sol i dag også. Nattefrost har virket stabiliserende på snødekket, men når temperaturen stiger utover dagen vil det fortsatt være lett å løse ut skred i den våte snøen. Hvis sola tar tak kan små skred løsne av seg selv. Vær også oppmerksom på skavler som kan knekke grunnet høye temperaturer.

Fokksnøflak i høyden vil stabiliserer raskt i gunstige temperaturer.
