Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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 24. December 2023

Svært variert snødekke i regionen. Særlig øst i regionen er det lite snø med mye terreng og stein synlig mellom områder med snø.
Snøvær med vind torsdag og vind fredag sist uke ga en snøoverflate som varierte mellom fersk vindtransportert snø og løsere snø i leområder, mens vindutsatte områder var avblåst. Lett snøvær søndag som avtar mandag

Bærende skarelag fra 16.12. Kantkorn og beger under dette er ikke noe aktivt problem pr nå.

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

Fokksnøen som ble dannet torsdag og fredag forrige uke ventes å ha stabilisert seg. Snøvær, særlig i vest, vil bedre skiføret noe. Til dels kraftig vind midt på dagen i dag vil danne ferske fokksnøflak i leområder.
