Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Tuesday 24. April 2018

Dei siste dagane har det vore kaldare vær med nedbør og vind, og det er truleg vindpåverka nysnø over ca. 700 moh. Dette har lagt seg på smelteomdanna snø. I sørvendte sider, og i andre himmelretningar under 1000 moh, er det våt snø med lite lagdeling som drenerer vatn godt.

Dei stadane høgt til fjells der det framleis er lagdelt snø kan det vere kantkornlag.

Det har vore mykje snøsmelting den siste tida og snøgrensa er mellom 200 - 500 moh.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 24. April 2018

15 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. -5 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 25. April 2018

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -6 °C to 0 °C at 1400 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

Kaldare temperaturar er gunstig for stabilisering av snødekket, og sidan snødekket drenerer vatn godt er faren for våte skred er liten. Unntaket er glideskred, sidan det framleis kan vere vatn ved bakken.I leområder mot aust og nord kan det vere ustabile nysnøflak som er mogleg å påverke av ein skiløpar.
