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)

Saturday 11. April 2020

Eldre snødekke har fått varme opp mot dei høgaste toppane. Kaldare netter og noko vind har gitt uttørking og skaredanning. Det er finkorna snødekke på dei høgaste toppane. Det er store snømengder i høgfjellet og toppskavlar er mange stader store.

Varme har tatt bort lagdelinga i eldre snødekke opp til omlag 1000 moh, men over dette nivået er lagdeling intakt og snødekket drenerer dårlig. Ellers ikkje relevante svake lag.

Mountain weather

Saturday 11. April 2020

6-10 mm precipitation. Breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the south during renoon. -2 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 12. April 2020

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Moderate gale from west, changing to moderate gale from the northwest during the afternoon. -5 °C to 2 °C at 1100 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

Varme og regn først på dagen går over til snø, vind og kulde utover dagen. Dette gir skredproblem med ferske fokksnøflak i leområder. I områda med mest nedbør kan skred bli middels store. Ved sigesprekker er det større sjanse for glideskred ved mykje nedbør.
