Avalanche risk assessment

Stor skredfare på grunn av store nysnømengder og vind. Ytre strøk mest utsatt. Naturlig utløste skred forventes, og skred kan løsne i både vedvarende svakt lag og i ustabil fokksnø. Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler og utgis kun for faregrad 4 og 5.
