Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 1 - Small • N, NE, E, SE above 1300 masl • Gjelder lengst vest i regionen. Unngå heng under skavler, der kan Skredene bli større.

Avalanche Danger Assessment

• 1 Low • Ikke vært på tur, kun kjøring vestfra. Nedsmelting fortsetter. Med mer varme vil jeg tro naturlig utløste skred øker, men i hovedsak str 1

Snow Cover

• No snowdrift • Snødekket krymper for hver dag. Ingen nye skred av nevneverdig str. Jeg så imidlertid et str. 1 naturlig utløst vått løssnøskred i bratt østvendt terreng i nærheten av bart fjell løsne av seg selv.
