Published:

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.

Mountain weather

Sunday 18. March 2018

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

Generelt mindre nedbør medfører at skredfaren er synkende.

Men sterk vind i kombinasjon med snøbyger medfører dannelse av ferske fokksnøflak. Litt endring i vindretninger gjennom dagen kan medføre at pålagring skjer i nye himmelretninger. Eldre fokksnøflak trenger tid på å stabilisere seg.

Det er muligheter for naturlig utløste skred.

Fortsatt krevende forhold i fjellet og det anbefales å holde seg unna alt skredterreng.
