Favorable conditions. But remember that small avalanches can be dangerous in terrain traps.

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)

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

Det kan fremdeles være mulig å løse ut et og annet vått skred i bratt terreng. I høyden vil kraftig vind og litt nysnø danne fokksnøflak i begrensede leområder først på dagen, men gunstige temperaturer gjør at disse stabiliseres raskt.
