Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Wednesday 9. March 2022

Mildvær og kraftig vind forrige helg har dannet skare opp til ca. 600 moh. Snøgrensen ved fjorden har trukket seg opp til ca. 100 moh. Over mildværsgrensen er det bærende fokksnø med noe myk snø oppå. Solen har tatt i bratte formasjoner mot sør og vest og dannet solskare.

Varierende grad av begynnende kantkorn rundt skare fra 27.-28. februar er observert i flere regioner. Meldinger fra observatører tilsier at det per nå ikke er aktive kantkornlag, men vær obs ved drønn eller skytende sprekker

Det er rapportert om litt løs snø i terrenget tilgjengelig for vindtransport.

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

Under mildværsgrensen er det fare for naturlig utløste våte skred i bratte heng. I noen heng kan det være lett å løse ut skred i den siste fokksnøen, tørre flakskred over mildværsgrensen og våte flakskred under mildværsgrensen.
