Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Monday 9. May 2022

Lørdag kom det nysnø over ca 500 moh. Denne blir nå smelteomvandlet i det varme været.
I sør, øst og vest er også det gamle snødekket smelteomvandlet høyt opp, mens i bratte nordvendte heng i høyden kan det fortsatt ligge lagdelt vintersnø, men også her er snøoverflaten påvirket av mildvær.
Det er godt med snø for årstiden over tregrensen.

Mountain weather

Monday 9. May 2022

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during renoon. -2 °C to 4 °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

Regn og plussgrader høyt til fjells øker faren for våte skred. Snødekket er fuktig allerede og vil antagelig drenere vannet godt slik at utbredelsen av problemet vil forbli begrenset.

Rundt de høyeste toppene og i svært bratte skygge- og lesider kan det danne seg ferske nysnøflak som kan være lett å løse ut i noen timer etter snøfallet.

Vær oppmerksom på at skavler kan være store og svekkes i varmen.

Det kan fortsatt være fare for enkelte glideskred, glideskred kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
