Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Monday 6. April 2020

Søndag og mandag har det kommet en del nysnø i regionen (10-20 cm) sammen med vind fra SV.

Det finnes et vedvarende svakt lag av kantkorn under skarelag fra januar. Det ligger trolig stort sett dypt i snødekket og er vanskelig å påvirke.

Søndag var det observert fersk vindtransportert snø.

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

Temperaturøkning løpet av dagen vil svekke snødekket i lavere terreng. Lettere påfyll av nedbør kan føre til små løssnøskred der nedbøren kommer som regn, i høyden vil det kunne dannes ny ustabil fokksnø.
