Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Tuesday 30. March 2021

Mildvêr dei siste dagane har gjennomfukta snødekket. Topper og rygger er stort sett bare. Det ligg mest snø i nordvendte leheng, men det er store variasjonar i regionen. Det er lite snø under 500 moh, og generelt lite snø for årstida.

Mandag vart det rapportert om små laussnøskred i Hunnedalen.

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

Framleis regn heilt opp til fjelltopphøgde, mest lengst nord i regionen. Generelt vil det fuktige snødekket stabilisere seg. Men vèr obs på både naturlege og skiløparutløyste våte laussnøskred og glideskred.
