Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

I nordvendte heng over 1000 moh ligg det framleis turr og lagdelt snø. Elles er snødekket stort sett smelteomvandla og stabilt.
Det er framleis mykje snø i fjellet. Snøgrensa stig gradvis og mot tregrensa, høgast mot sør.

På Strynefjellet gjekk det eit stort glideskred søndag. I Byksefonna øvst i Valldal gjekk det to glideskred torsdag.

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

I bratt terreng med myk, våt snø er det lett å løse ut løssnøskred. Små og middels store skred er mest aktuelt, men glideskred kan bli store. Glideskred kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glideskrekker og husk at skavler svekkes i varmen.
