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 20. April 2020

De siste dagene har vært preget av mildvær og nedbør. PIussgradene har nådd opp til ca 800 moh.

Det er observert tykke kantkornlag nærmere bakken, men disse er vanskelige å påvirke.

Det henger store skavler ut fra mange fjelltopper.

Mountain weather

2-4 mm precipitation. Moderate gale from west. -4 °C to 0 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 21. April 2020

No precipitation. Moderate gale from northwest. -7 °C to -1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

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

Siste dagene med mildvær har ført til at snødekket i lavlandet har blitt gjennomvått. Det vil være lett for en skikjører å løse ut våte løssnøskred. Utover dagen vil også solinnstråling kunne føre til løssnøskred i bratte solvendte fjellsider.

Fokksnø som har blitt dannet i høyden de siste dagene ventes å ha stabilisert seg raskt i de milde temperaturene.
