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 12. May 2020

Høyt til fjells og i skyggefulle områder finnes det fremdeles finkornet og lagdelt snø. Snødekket er smelteomvandlet til ca. 1000 moh, høyere i bratt solvendt terreng. I høyfjellet er det fortsatt mye snø og store skavler for årstiden, spesielt i nord og øst-vendte sider.
I Hunnedalen er det sammenhengende skiføre fra ca.650 moh.

Det har kommet litt ny snø snø de siste to dagene med snøbyger fra NV.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 12. May 2020

3-7 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -8 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 13. May 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -10 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

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

Der det blir direkte solinnstråling i bratt terreng kan mindre skred løsne av seg selv. Spesielt utsatt er lune formasjoner der den siste snøen ligger løs.
Det finnes store skavler etter mye vestavær i vinter. Vær forsiktig ved ferdsel langs rygger og på topper. Hold god avstand til sigesprekker i snødekket.
