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

Det er lenge siden siste snøfall. Snødekket er generelt tynt og snøoverflaten varierer mellom å være hard og isete eller litt mykere.
Snøgrensen ligger på 300-500 moh, lavest i indre del av regionen. Det er mest snø i Rauma- og Eikesdalsfjella.

Før mildværet lørdag var det gode forhold for oppbyggende omvandling og det ligger kantkorn ved bakken i store deler av regionen.

Lørdag var snøoverflaten stort sett fuktig til topps som følge av mildvær.

Mountain weather

Saturday 19. December 2020

2-3 mm precipitation. Strong breeze from south. -3 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 20. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Strong breeze from south. -4 °C to 0 °C at 1400 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

Snødekket stabiliserer seg når temperaturen synker. Det er håp om et lite dryss med snø i høyden. Det er vanskelig å tro at dette gir noe skredproblem men det er mulig at det dannes små nysnøflak enkelte steder hvis det kommer nok snø.
