Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Wednesday 30. November 2022

Det er lite snø i regionen. Ved havnivå er det bart og det varierer kor høgt ein må for å finne samanhengane snø. Generelt er dette frå ca. 400 moh, men det er framleis tynt snødekke og oppstikkande stein høgare i fjellet.
Mykje av snøen som finst er smelteomdanna og hard, men mot høgda er det litt laus snø av overflatekantkorn. Isolerte stadar kan det vere litt fokksnø. Både bakken og snøoverflata er dekka av rim.

Mountain weather

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 stabile tilhøve. Dei få stadane det har samla seg fokksnø høgt til fjells, t.d. i renner og søkk, kan det vere mogleg å løyse ut skred, men dei vil i tilfelle bli små. Faren er større for å treffe stein om du ferdast på ski.
