Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow

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.

Avalanche risk assessment

Det er generelt få heng i fjellet som har et ustabilt snødekke for øyeblikket. Det er likevel i disse hengene skiføret kan være best og skiløpere vil oppsøke. Vær derfor oppmerksom i overgangen mellom harde og myke flak. De små ustabile fokksnøflakene kan ligge i alle himmelretninger. Husk at selv små skred på isete overflate eller tynt snødekke kan medføre alvorlige konsekvenser på grunn av oppstikkende stein.
