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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Wednesday 6. May 2020

Det finnes fokksnøflak i NV fjellsider etter nysnø fra sist helg. En del steder er det dannet et skarelag helt øverst, med løsere snø under. Det er generelt mye snø i fjellet, og i østlige fjellsider er det store skavler.

Det er tidligere observert svake lag med kantkorn rundt skarelag nede i snødekket og ved bakken. For det meste ligger disse under bærende lag med fokksnø og skare.

De siste dagene har det gått noen våtsnøskred i bratte, sørvendte hellinger.

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

Det kan gå våte løssnøskred i solvendte fjellsider utover dagen.
I høyden kan det ligge fokksnøflak i lesider.
Vær oppmerksom på skavlbrudd som kan utløse skred i underliggende terreng.
Vær forsiktig om du observerer sigesprekker i snødekket. Dette er et tydelig forvarsel på glideskred.
