Avalanche risk assessment

Fokksnøen fra de siste dagene stabiliseres raskt grunnet gunstige temperaturer.

Faren for glideskred har avtatt noe grunnet kaldere vær, men slike skred er svært vanskelig å forutse og kan gå uten synlige faretegn.
Det finnes store skavler etter mye vestavær i vinter. Vær forsiktig ved ferdsel langs rygger og på topper.
