Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions, but danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

Snødekket er stort sett smelteomvandla. Ein lyt opp i dei høgaste områda og rundt breen for å finne skiføre.

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

Der snøoverflata er mjuk og laus kan ein løyse ut mindre våte laussnøskred. I enkelte områder kan det også løysne våte flakskred pga opphopning av vatn i snødekket.

Ver merksam på sprekkar i snødekket. Viss desse går heilt til bakken i områder der snøen ligg på bratte svaberg er det eit teikn på at det kan løysne glideskred.
