Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Monday 29. January 2024

Mildvær og regn opp til ca 1500 moh har gitt mye snøsmelting og et gjennomvått snødekke i lavere områder. På de høyeste toppene er det fokksnøflak av varierende hardhet etter mye snø og kraftig vind de siste dagene.

Eventuelt kantkorn ses på som nullstilt av mildværet.

Det er observert flere våte skred i forbindelse med mildværet.

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 får seg et lite hvilskjær tirsdag etter mildværet.

Enkelte steder i høyfjellet kan det være ustabile fokksnøflak.

Snødekket ventes å stabilisere seg raskt og mange områder under mildværsgrensen vil ha stabile forhold.
