Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow

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.

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

I høyden kan det finnes mindre heng med ferske fokksnøflak som kan løses ut av skiløpere. Problemet er mest aktuelt i utsatte terrengformasjoner som bak rygger og inngang til renner.
Vær oppmerksom i overgangen mellom harde og myke flak og husk at selv små skred på isete overflate, eller tynt snødekke kan medføre alvorlige konsekvenser på grunn av oppstikkende stein.
