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

Det vil være lett å løse ut våte skred i bratte heng. Regn og høye temperaturer gjør snøen våt i alle himmelretninger. Enkelte skred kan løsne av seg selv.

På de aller høyeste toppene kan nedbøren komme som snø, og det er mulig å løse ut små skred i ferske flak. Tørrsnøen forventes å stabilisere seg raskt pga gunstige temperaturer.
