Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Friday 12. June 2020

Snøoverflaten er smelteomvandlet og våt etter flere dager med høye temperaturer. Store deler av snøen i solvendte sider er smeltet bort.

Generelt er snødekket smelteomvandlet og drenerer vannet godt.

Ingen rapporterte skred siste tre døgn.

Det har smeltet mye de siste dagene. Det finnes skavler og glidesprekker enkelte steder.

Mountain weather

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

Høye temperaturer øker snøsmeltinga og svekker snødekket. Der snøen blir oppvarmet og myk på grunn av sol eller temperaturstigning kan det gå små løssnøskred. Men gjenværende snø ventes å drenere smeltevann godt. Enkelte steder hvor oppsprukket snø ligger på bratte sva, er det fare for glideskred. Det er vanskelig å forutsi når slike skred går.

For vurdering av sørpeskredfare: se jordskredvarsel.
