Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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

Snødekket er stort sett stabilt. Men i bratt terreng med våt, løs snø er det mulig å løse ut løssnøskred. I indre strøk av regionen er det også observert opphopning av vann i snødekket som kan gi små flakskred.
Glideskred kan løsne der det er forhold for det, for eksempel der underlaget er svaberg. Unngå terreng under glidesprekker.
