Published:
Avoid lee areas with fresh wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies.

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Det vil være lett å løse ut skred der det la seg fokksnø onsdag. Fokksnøen kan ha lagt seg over svake lag av kantkorn eller rim.

NB. Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn i den ordinære varslingssesongen som starter 1. desember. Basert på observasjoner på drønn og utbredt overflaterim antas det at det finnes et utbredt svakt lag i snødekket.
