Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Friday 29. May 2020

I lavlandet er det våt snø uten lagdeling, ved kysten er det også bar bakke mange steder. I høyden i indre deler av regionen finnes det fortsatt snø med lagdeling.

I starten av uka gikk det en del små naturlig utløste løssnøskred.

Det er mer snø enn normalt i regionen, og det finnes fortsatt store skavler og glidesprekker noen steder.

Mountain weather

Friday 29. May 2020

2 mm precipitation, up to 7 mm in the most exposed areas. Breeze from southwest. -1 °C to 2 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 30. May 2020

3-6 mm precipitation. Breeze from west. -1 °C to 2 °C at 700 m a.s.l. 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

Litt regn og stigende temperatur fører til at det er mulig for en enkelt skiløper å løse ut våte løssnøskred i bratte heng. Enkelte naturlig utløste våte løssnøskred kan også forekomme.

Unngå områder under glidesprekker og skavler.
