Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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 27. March 2022

Snøoverflaten er preget av smelteformer etter varme og gjenfrysing på natta. Over på mildværsgrensa, høyt til fjells, ligger noe fersk fokksnø i østvendt terreng over eldre hard fokksnø. Snøfordelingen er ujevn, med mest snø i østvendt terreng. Snømengden øker vestover i regioene. Vindutsatte formasjoner har skare, hard fokksnø eller er avblåst.

Mildvær den siste perioden har nøytalisert svake lag høyt i snødekket, men det finnes kantkorn og begerkrystaller dypere i snødekket. På de høyeste toppnene, lengst vest i regionen, kan vedvarende svake lag finnes i øvre del av snødekket.

Mountain weather

Sunday 27. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Moderate gale from west, changing to strong gale from the west during the evening. -3 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 28. March 2022

3-6 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Gale from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -9 °C to -1 °C at 1400 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

Litt snø vil danne mindre ferske flak i leområder som kan løses ut av skiløpere. Nedbøren ventes lengst vest i regionen.
I solvendt terreng ut over dagen vil snøen kunne bli ustabil. Husk at selv små skred kan få store konsekvenser grunnet oppstikkende stein.
