Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 28. December 2019

Snøoverflaten består bristende skare og høyt til fjells vindpåvirket snø med varierende hardhet, stedvis med et lite lag nysnø oppå. Snøen er forholdsvis jevnt fordelt i terrenget, og det er litt mindre snø enn normalt for årstiden.

Det ble observert overflaterim på hardt underlag i Sogndalsdalen torsdag.

Mountain weather

Saturday 28. December 2019

15 mm precipitation, up to 25 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from southwest. -7 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 29. December 2019

30 mm precipitation, up to 50 mm in the most exposed areas. Moderate gale from southwest. -3 °C to 3 °C at 1400 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

Høy temperatur og regn høyt til fjells gjør snødekket ustabilt. Det er lett å løse ut skred i fersk fokksnø, som stedvis ligger på rim. Naturlig utløste våte flak- og løssnøskred eller glideskred kan forekomme. I det som er igjen av terreng over mildværsgrensen er det fare for tørre skred i fersk fokksnø.
