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)

Monday 24. January 2022

Det er generelt lite snø for årstiden, og det er mest snø vest i regionen. Det som finnes av snø er ujevnt fordelt i terrenget. Flater og vestvendt terreng er avblåst og har lite snø. Skjermet østvendt terreng har mer innblåst snø. Tykkere og sammenhengende snødekke i østvendte leformasjoner over 1200 moh. lengst vest i regionen. I skogen er det tynt snødekke med oppstikkende stein.

Over 1200 moh finnes vedvarende svake lag under fokksnøen.

Lørdag ble det observert et naturlig utløst str. 2 skred i østvendt terreng ved Bjøberg på ca 1300 moh.

Mountain weather

Monday 24. January 2022

Tuesday 25. January 2022

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

Faregraden forventes å holde seg lav. På de høye toppene lengst vest i regionen, vil kraftig vind og snøføyk danne små ferske fokksnøflak som kan være lette å løse ut for en skikjører. Skredproblemene begrenset til formasjoner hvor det legger seg opp fokksnø. Det kreves i hovedsak stor tilleggsbelastning for å løse ut skred. Enkelte steder på tynt snødekke, kan kantkorn påvirkes.
