Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Friday 31. March 2023

Under skoggrensen og i skjermede formasjoner er det generelt løs ubunden snø og fint skiføre. Over skoggrensen er det stort sett hard fokksnø eller skare, noen steder med litt nysnø på toppen.

Mountain weather

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northeast during the evening. -12 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 1. April 2023

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from east, changing to breeze from the north during the afternoon. -18 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Det ventes generelt stabile forhold. Vær likevel varsom i bratt solvendt terreng ut på dagen. Sterk sol kan svekke snøoverflaten og føre til våte løssnøskred.

Høyt til fjells kan det finnes en og annen lite lomme med fokksnø, men det skal trolig mye til for å løse ut skred på de nå.

Den siste tidens klarvær har dannet svake, løse lag i overflaten. Men frem til at vi få et større fokksnøflak over er dette ikke problem.
