Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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)

Friday 5. April 2019

Det har vore varmegrader godt over fjelltopphøgde siste døgnet, og snødekket ber preg av dette. Enkelte stader er den nyaste snøen i ferd med å bli grovkorna etter varmepåvirkinga siste dagane. Det er tynt snødekke/bart under ca 800 moh. Den eldre snøen er i hovudsak omdanna og stabilisert. Toppar og ryggar er avblåst.

Mountain weather

Friday 5. April 2019

Little to no precipitation. Strong breeze from east. -2 °C to 4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 6. April 2019

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. -2 °C to 5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l.

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

Høge temperaturar i fjellet gjer at ein kan forvente fleire mindre laussnøskred, spesielt i bratt sørvendt terreng. Skredfaren er størst utpå dagen.
