Loose snow

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.

Avalanche risk assessment

Etter høye temperaturer i flere dager forventes fokksnøflak å ha stabilisert seg, og det vil være lite tørr snø igjen å flytte på for vinden.

Mildværet kan gi noen små våte løssnøskred.

Våt, oppsprukket snø som ligger på glatte sva, kan være forvarsel om glideskred.
