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)

Friday 11. March 2022

De siste dagene har vært preget av mildvær og mye nedbør.
Over 500-700 moh, der nedbøren har kommet som snø, er det nå betydelig ansamling av fokksnø i leområder.

Vindutsatte områder er avblåst.

Det er tidligere observert kantkorn i snødekket, men laget er trolig ikke mulig å påvirke på grunn av sterke, overliggende lag.

Mountain weather

Friday 11. March 2022

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1100 m a.s.l Friday night. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the south. -5 °C to 2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 12. March 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -9 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Skredfaren er knyttet til fersk fokksnø i enkelte heng, samt våt snø i lavlandet.
Der snøoverflaten er våt kan det være lett å løse ut mindre våte skred. Dette gjelder særlig i bratte solhellinger.
I høyfjellet kan enkelte områder ha ustabil fokksnø som er lett å løse ut for en skiløper.
