Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Glide avalanches are possible, even if the snowmelting are low.

Avalanche problems

Glide avalanches

on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Wet snow/melting near the ground

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can 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)

Sunday 7. June 2020

Snødekket har falt sammen siste tiden. Snøgrensa har trekt langt oppover og er varierende etter himmelretning og terrengform. Snø over 700 moh. I snøfylte områder er det skiføre fra skoggrensa.

Høyfjellet har mye snø for årstiden, og der snødekket er tykt er snøen fortsatt delvis lagdelt. Tynnere snødekke er grovkorna uten lagdeling og mer råtten.

Mange av de store toppskavlene har ramla ned, men fortsatt mange igjen. Sigesprekker er utbredt.

Mountain weather

Sunday 7. June 2020

14-18 mm precipitation. Calm/light breeze from northwest. 0 °C to 5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 8. June 2020

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from west. -1 °C to 7 °C at 1400 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

Kaldere vær etter regnskyll søndag og varme sist uke gir avtagende skredfare. Det ventes generelt stabile forhold, men det kan likevel være mulig å løse ut små våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng.
Under sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred og flere skavler skal fortsatt ned.
