Mildvêr dei siste dagane har gjennomfukta snødekket. Topper og rygger er avblåst. Det ligger mest snø i nordvendte leheng, men det er store variasjoner i regionen. Det er lite snø under 500 moh, og generelt lite snø for årstida.

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

Meir regn heilt opp til fjelltopphøgde vil auke belastninga på snødekket der snødekket er lagdelt med gamle is- og skarelag. Her kan det gå naturleg utløyste våte flakskred.
