Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches 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)

Sunday 4. December 2022

Det er lite eller ingen snø i terrenget. Snøen finst kun på dei høgaste toppane og i brenære områder. Også der er det lite av den.

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

Snøvêr og litt vind kan føre til at det vert danna små nysnøflak. Mest utsett er dei aller høgaste toppane som hadde litt snø frå før. Sidan nysnøen stort sett legg seg på barmark vil utbreiinga av skredproblem framleis vere liten og skredfaren vere låg.
