Green level (NVE)

Avalanche

The danger increases with heavy wind and snow showers. Natural triggered avalanches can occur. Avoid areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Below the treeline some small wet loose snow avalanches can occur early in the day. (NVE)

The danger increases when the wind picks up. Naturally released avalanches can occur. Avoid areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. It is also a slight possibility that a weak layer deep in the snow pack can be triggered and cause large avalanches. (NVE)

Wet natural released avalanches are expected. The avalanche danger stays at the same level as long as the rain continues. Avoid avalanche release and run out areas. (NVE)

Difficult conditions with a lot of wind and precipitation. Natural released avalanches can occur, bothwhere the snow is wet, and in the alpine. Avoid avalanche release and run out areas. There is also a weak layer deep in the snow pack that is generally hard to trigger, but can cause large avalanches if it collapses. (NVE)
