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)

Sunday 23. January 2022

Mildværet søndag har gjennomfuktet snøen høyt til fjells. Over mildværsgrensen har kraftig vind og snøvær sannsynligvis ført til en vindpåvirket snøoverflate med store ansamlinger av fersk fokksnø i leområder.

Det finnes vedvarende svake lag med kantkorn under skarelag, men disse er trolig svært vanskelig å påvirke. Det er knyttet usikkerhet til utbredelsen av lagene.

Mountain weather

Sunday 23. January 2022

20 mm precipitation, up to 50 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Moderate gale from southwest, changing to strong gale from the southwest during the evening. -3 °C to 3 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 24. January 2022

13 mm precipitation, up to 28 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 500 m a.s.l Monday night. Strong gale from southwest, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during renoon. -8 °C to 0 °C at 700 m a.s.l. 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

Skredfaren fortsetter å være knyttet til mildværet. Skredfaren vil være størst natt til mandag og avta utover dagen. Lokalt ventes store nedbørsmengder. Det er fare for store naturlig utløste skred, både over og under mildværsgrensen.

Unngå ferdsel i og nært skredterreng.
