Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 27. March 2021

Det ligger litt nysnø i overflata over 700 moh fra siste dager. Tidligere i uka var det mildvær opptil 1100-1200 moh. Topper og rygger er avblåst. Det ligger mest snø i nordvendte leheng, men det er store variasjoner i regionen. Det eldre snødekket er smelteomvandla til fjelltopphøyde. Det er lite snø under 500 moh, og generelt lite snø for årstida.

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

Påfyll av snø og sterk vind frå sør som dreier på vest utover dagen vil danne fokksnøflak i nord- og austvendte leformasjonar. I fjellet vil fokksnøflak vere lette å påvirke for ein skiløpar.
Under mildvêrsgrensa fører regn til våte skredproblem. Våte laussnøskred er mest sannsynlig, men vær oppmerksom på skavler som svekkes og kan løse ut flakskred hvis de knekker.
