Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Thursday 30. May 2019

Regionen har lite snø og gjenværende snø er smelteomvandlet og drenerer smeltevann godt.
I øst- og nordvendte botner er det sammenhengende snødekke over ca. 1300 moh. I sør og vestvendte områder er det lite eller ingen snø.

Natt til torsdag 30.05 ble det målt 0 grader i Myrkdalen, 700 moh.

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

Nysnøflak i leområder vil stabilisere seg relativt raskt, men må fremdeles betraktes som ustabile. Middels store skred kan løses ut av enkelt skiløper. Det gamle snødekket tåler i hovedsak både regn og varme godt.
Skredvarslingen for sesongen 2018/2019 avsluttes 31.05. Vi takker for nå og minner om varslingsstart for neste sesong 01.12.2019.
