Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Friday 1. May 2020

Det er generelt smelteomdanna snø i regionen. Under mildværsgrensa kan denne vere fuktig eller våt, ellers er det generelt skare. I nordvente sider høgt til fjells kan det vere fokksnø.

Under den øverste skara har det nokre stadar danna seg kantkorn. I høgda er det også eit vedvarande svakt lag av kantkorn lengre ned i snødekket som vart danna tidlegare i vinter. Det er ikkje observasjonar på at dette er mogleg å påverke.

Det har gått våte skred i bratte heng, både laussnøskred og glideskred, og det har vore fleire skavlbrot siste tida.

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

Det er generelt eit stabilt snødekke. Under mildværsgrensa kan det gå nokre våte skred, enten naturleg eller utløyst av skikøyrarar. I tillegg kan det også gå glideskred og vere skavlbrot. Over mildværsgrensa kan det danne seg fokksnøflak, men dei vil vere små.
