Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Saturday 1. May 2021

Snøoverflaten er for det meste smelteomvandlet og hard etter mildvær med påfølgende gjenfrysing. Høyt til fjells kan det fortsatt være tørr fokksnø i skyggesider.

Det kom opp mot 5cm nysnø natt til lørdag helt ned til 500moh.

Mountain weather

Saturday 1. May 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -11 °C to 5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 2. May 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -11 °C to 4 °C at 1100 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

Nattefrost gjør at snødekket fryser til og danner en stabil snøoverflate. Snøen mykner utover dagen i sør og vest. Det kan komme et dryss med nysnø men neppe nok til å gi ustabile flak.

Om sola får skikkelig tak kan det gå enkelte våte skred i bratt terreng.
