Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Thursday 1. December 2022

Det er lite snø i regionen. Det er bart ved havnivå og det varierer kor høgt du må for å finne samanhengane snø. Generelt er dette rundt ca. 400-500 moh, men det er framleis tynt snødekke og oppstikkande stein høgare til fjells. Snøgrensa er høgare på øyene enn på fastlandet.
Snøen som ligg består i hovudsak av hard eller mjuk skare, men det har kome litt nysnø på dei høgaste fjelltoppane dei to siste dagane. Dette kan ha lagt seg på kantkorn og rim.

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 er generelt stabile tilhøve. Det er lite snø og snøen som ligg er i hovudsak hard. På dei høgaste fjelltoppane der det har kome nysnø kan det danne seg nokre få små fokksnøflak om det kjem vind. Pass opp for oppstikkande stein om du ferdast på ski.
