Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 9. May 2020

Litt nysnø og vind har dannet små fokksnøflak i høyden. Det gamle snødekket har vært gjennomfukta og fremstår som stabilt. Det er generelt mye snø i fjellet for årstiden, og mange steder store skavler i østvendte fjellsider.

Fredag gikk det noen små tørre løssnø skred.

Mountain weather

Saturday 9. May 2020

2-4 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from west. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 10. May 2020

2-5 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -9 °C to -4 °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

Vind og litt nysnø gir små ferske fokksnøflak i høyden. Der det blir direkte solinnstråling i bratt terreng kan mindre våte skred løsne av seg selv. Det finnes store skavler etter mye vestavær i vinter. Skavler som brekker kan føre til skred i underliggende terreng. Hold alltid god avstand til sigesprekker i snødekket.
