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

Skredfaren er minkende men fortsatt betydelig. De siste dagene har vært preget av store nedbørsmengder og kraftig vind. Det finnes ustabil fokksnøflak høyt til fjells hvor nedbøren har kommet som snø. Enkelte våte skred kan løsne av seg selv. Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler og utgis kun i forbindelse med faregrad 4 og 5.
