Published:

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Monday 27. December 2021

Overflata preges av nysnø som har kommet med lite vind de siste dagene. Under nysnøen finnes stedvis fokksnø nordøst i regionen. Men de fleste steder ligger nysnøen på bar bakke eller hard skare fra mildvær forrige helg.

Under ca. 700-800 moh er det lite eller ingen snø.

Mountain weather

Monday 27. December 2021

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. -18 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 28. December 2021

2-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southeast during renoon. -14 °C to -2 °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

Skredfaren knyttet til fokksnøen fra helgen er gradvis avtakende. Det skal generelt mer til å løse ut skred. Litt nysnø ventes ikke å danne nye problemer.
