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)

Sunday 17. April 2022

Snøoverflaten er preget av det varme været de siste dagene og er i hovedsak smelteomvandlet. Klare netter har gitt gjenfrysing.

Det har vært observert nedføyka rim noen steder i høyden.

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

Solinnstråling og stigende temperatur vil utover dagen svekke snødekket.

I bratte fjellsider kan det forventes noen våte løssnøskred utover dagen.

Enkelte steder i høyden kan flakdannelser ha lagt seg over vedvarende svake lag. Her vil skred kunne løsne naturlig eller være svært lett å løse ut etter hvert som snøen varmes opp.

Klarvær om natten gir gjenfrysing og lavere skredfare på morgenen.
