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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Friday 17. February 2023

Forrige ukes snøfall ble flyttet inn i nordøst- og sørøstvendte leområder. Siden det har mildvær fuktet snødekke opp til ca 600-700 moh. Det har dannet seg en tynn skareskorpe i overflaten flere steder.

Det er fortsatt avblåst ned til bakken over rygger flere steder.

Observasjoner fra forrige uke tyder på at kantkornlaget langs med bakken ligger under et frossent og hardt snødekke, og har blitt fuktig opp til i hvert fall 600 moh.

Mountain weather

Friday 17. February 2023

0-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from southeast. -12 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 18. February 2023

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 nå generelt stabile forhold, men vær varsom i områder som tidligere har samlet snø. Her kan det fortsatt være mulig å løse ut skred. Husk at også mindre skred kan gi konsekvenser nær terrengfeller.
