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)

Wednesday 26. February 2020

Det har vore mykje nedbør fram mot sist helg og jamt over sterk vind med skiftande retning. Det har vore størst pålagring i nordaustlege heng, men etter austleg vind frå tysdag ligg den ferskaste fokksnøen i vest.

Det gamle djupare snødekket er generelt smelteomvandla og stabilt, og snøgrensa er på omlag 400 moh.

Det var måndag observert fleire skred av storleik 1 og 2 i austlege leområder av Skrivarnuten nordaust i regionen.

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

Litt nysnø med lite vind vil ventelig ikkje endra på skredfaresituasjonen. Eldre fokksnø får gradvis mindre spenning og betre bindingar mot underlag. Der det er sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred.
