Avalanche risk assessment

Snøvêr og litt vind kan føre til at det vert danna små nysnøflak. Mest utsett er dei aller høgaste toppane i indre strøk som hadde litt snø frå før. I ytre strøk er det stort sett forventa regn nesten heilt til topps. Sidan nysnøen stort sett legg seg på barmark vil utbreiinga av skredproblem framleis vere liten og skredfaren vere låg.
