Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Monday 20. April 2020

Plussgrader til fjelltopphøyde har gitt en smelteomvandlet snøoverflate og skarelag, men sol og varme temperaturer vil tine opp overflaten midt på dagen.
Det er store snømengder i høyfjellet og toppskavler er mange steder store.
Sigesprekker er utbredt i regionen.

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

Solinnstråling gjør at faren for våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng øker utover dagen. Ekstra utsatt er heng som har vært skjermet for vinden med løs, ubunden snø. Følg med om snøen blir myk, fuktig eller våt.

Det er fare for glideskred under områder som har sigesprekker.
