Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

Wednesday 13. March 2024

Snøen er hard og bærande dei fleste stader i fjellet. Mykje av det er smelteomdanna og grovkorna. Aust i regionen er det noko meir finkorna snø i overflata etter siste snøfall. Etter vind og nedbør frå både austlege og vestlege vindar siste tida, er det det no leområder i nær sagt alle hengretningar.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 13. March 2024

18 mm precipitation, up to 30 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Moderate gale from southeast, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during the evening. -3 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 14. March 2024

2 mm precipitation, up to 7 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1100 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the south during the evening. -2 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

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

Litt snø og kraftig vind gir skredproblem med spredte ferske fokksnøflak i enkelte leområder i høgda.
Fokksnøen legg seg på eit fast og fuktig eldre snødekke etter mildvêr onsdag. Bindingane mellom ny og eldre snø vil derfor forholdsvis raskt bli gode.
Under mildvêrsgrensa vil snøen tåle regnet godt.
Ved sigesprekker er det tilhøve for glideskred.
