Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Thursday 2. March 2023

Det ligger mye snø i fjellet etter en uke med mye nedbør. Snøoverflaten har vært fuktig opp til minst 1000 moh pga mildvær og tåke siden søndag. I høyfjellet består overflaten av fokksnø av varierende hardhet.

I indre deler av regionen kan det i perioder de siste dagene ha vært lettere skydekke. Der det er lite skyer og utstråling på natta kan det dannes kantkorn nær overflaten.

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

Oppdatert varsel 02.03. kl 09:40.
Kraftig vind i fjellet gir ustabile fokksnøflak. Det kan være lett å løse ut middels store skred der flakene er ferske.

I høyfjellet kan vindøkning føre til at det legger seg opp noen ustabile fokksnøflak i leområder, særlig mot sør og øst.

Vær obs på at skavler vil svekkes i varmen og lett kan knekke.
