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

Kraftig temperaturstigning kan gi naturlig utløste våte løssnøskred.

Vær oppmerksom på ferske glidesprekker på glatte sva. Man bør unngå å oppholde seg under disse da det er fare for enkelte glideskred.

Fokksnøflak som ble dannet fredag forventes nå å ha stabilisert seg.

Fjordnære fjell og store deler av lavlandet har lite eller ingen snø og lavere skredfare.
