Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Loose snow

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.

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

Varmen holder seg. Det kan løsne små våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng. Under glidesprekker er det forhold for glideskred og noen skavler kan fortsatt falle ned.
