Avalanche warning for region Nord-Gudbrandsdalen Tuesday 06.04.2021

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Generally unstable conditions due to large unstable storm slabs. Large skier triggered avalanches likely, and naturally released avalanches possible.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3). Remote triggering is possible.

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

Skredfaren vil avta noe. Det er fortsatt lett for en enkelt skiløper å løse ut store skred i fersk fokksnø, og naturlig utløste skred kan forekomme.

I høyfjellet kan vedvarende svake lag finnes i snødekket og gi store skred.
