Avalanche problems

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)

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)

Saturday 25. May 2024

Snødekket er i all hovedsak smelteomdannet i de fleste høyder og himmelretninger. Snøgrensen kryper stadig oppover og skiføre finnes først over ca 600 moh. Glidesprekker er utbredt.

Torsdag ble det målt 17 grader på Kappfjellet (940moh)

Sunday 26. May 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. 4 °C to 14 °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

Temperaturen stiger ytterligere og sola vil gjøre overflaten ekstra våt og løs. Det vil fortsatt være lett å løse ut små, våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng.

Skavlbrudd og glideskred kan ikke utelukkes. Hold god avstand til skavler og glidesprekker.
