Avalanche risk assessment

Det fortsetter med noe snø og vind også søndag, og utbredelse av ustabile flak vil være stor og det vil være lett å løse ut skred for en enkel skiløper. Når vinden og snøfokken etter hvert vil avta noe, vil faren og utbredelsen for naturlig utløste skred også synke noe, slik at skredfaren vurderes til 3-betydelig søndag.
