Avalanche risk assessment

Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler og utgis kun for faregrad 4 og 5.
Det ventes store naturlige utløste skred lørdag. Mye nysnø og kraftig vind vil bygge opp store fokksnøflak. Det er stor sannsynlighet for at det finnes vedvarende svake lag i snødekket mange steder etter lange kulde perioder i vinter. Vedvarende svake lag som rim og kantkorn gjør at fokksnøflakene blir vesentlig mer ustabile. Skred løsner lettere og skred kan bli større pga større forplantningsevne. Hold avstand til alt skredterreng!
