Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Regn og stigende temperaturer den siste uka har gjort snøoverflaten våt og fuktig oppover i fjellet. I fjellet kan det ligge tørrere flak av nysnø og fokksnø etter perioder med snø og vind de siste dagene.
Rundt skare fra 23. april har det vært temperaturgradient og utviklet seg kantkorn. Utviklingen og egenskapene har variert, men de fleste steder har kornene vært små og laget har ikke utgjort et tydelig skredproblem.
De siste dagene har det blitt observert mange små til middels store løssnøskred i regionen. Flest skred er observert i sørlig og vestlig sektor.
