Avalanche problems

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.

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

Ustabil fokksnø vil stabilisere seg raskt når det er mildt og ingen nedbør. Det snødde lavere ned en antatt og det ligger fuktig nysnø på gammelt hardt snødekke mange steder. Siden det fortsatt er meldt mildt og skyet vil flakene antagelig oppleves som "seige".

Det kan likevel gå enkelte glideskred. Unngå ferdsel under glidesprekker.
