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)

Tuesday 25. April 2023

Etter mange dager med klarvær og solvarme i forrige uke ble det gamle snødekket i stor grad smelteomvandlet i lavere områder og der sola tok tak. Søndag regnet det opp til ca. 1000 moh. I nordsider er den gamle snøoverflaten tørr over ca. 1000 moh.

Det er observert overflatekantkorn og rim i skyggesider i høyfjellet. Det er også observert kantkorn under smelteskare høyt i snødekket.
Kantkorn dypere i snødekket er generelt svært vanskelig å påvirke.

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 høyden vil vind og nysnø danne ferske flak som kan være ustabile. Det kan være lett å løse ut små eller middels store skred. Unngå terreng der også mindre skred kan gi store konsekvenser.

Dersom sola skulle titte fram kan det gi fare for løssnøskred i den nye snøen.

Det er fortsatt fare for glideskred. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
