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
Utover tirsdag stiger mildværsgrensa. Faren for våte skred øker når nysnø fra siste dager blir utsatt for regn. Enkelte skred kan løsne naturlig. Der det fortsatt er igjen skavler kan det være fare for skavlbrudd. Enkelte glideskred kan forekomme der det ligger igjen snø på bratte sva.
I leheng høyt til fjells kan det finnes fokksnøflak som er mulig å påvirke, særlig når været står på, men disse stabiliserer seg sannsynligvis kjapt i relativt milde temperaturer.
