Published:
Wet natural avalanches possible. The avalanche danger stays at the same level as long as the rain continues. Avoid avalanche release and run out areas.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

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)

Monday 18. December 2017

I helga kom det noe nysnø i byger med moderat vind som har gitt noen myke nysnøflak. Der bygene har truffet ligger det da også noe løs snø tilgjengelig for vindtransport. Nysnøen ligger da enten på hard fokksnø eller skare.

Det er ikke observert skredaktivitet de siste dagene.

Mountain weather

Monday 18. December 2017

0-3 mm precipitation. -16 °C to -6 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 19. December 2017

16 mm precipitation, up to 25 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to gale from the southwest during the afternoon. -12 °C to 2 °C at 1100 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

Kraftig vind og nedbør fører til at det dannes ferske fokksnøflak i høyden mange steder. Etter hvert vil mildvær og regn til topps føre til at bindingene i snødekket svekkes og det kan gå en del naturlig utløste skred.

Skredfaren øker utover dagen og vurderes til faregrad 3 – betydelig.
