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)

Tuesday 9. June 2020

Snøen er for det meste våt og drener vannet godt. Snøoverflaten er for det meste fast og fin.

Over skoggrensen er det fortsatt mye snø igjen, særlig i forsenkninger som samler snø. Langs rygger og på topper er det bart.

Under skoggrensen blir det stadig mindre snø.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 9. June 2020

Wednesday 10. June 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. 0 °C to 7 °C at 700 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 øker, sola får tak og det ventes noen løssnøskred i bratt terreng. Det er likevel generelt stabile forhold. Snøen drenerer godt både regn og smeltevann.

Enkelte steder er det fare for glideskred. Disse er svært vanskelig å forutsi. Åpne sprekker er tydelig faretegn.
Noen få steder finnes også et skarelag som kan samle opp smeltevannet og gi flakskred.

Vær observant der det er skavler. Disse kan knekke og løse ut skred i fjellsiden under.
