Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Friday 8. May 2020

De siste dagene har det kommet noe nysnø i fjellet. Gammelt snødekke er stort sett gjennomfuktet, men i de høyeste nordvendte lesidene kan det fortsatt finnes tørr snø. Snøgrensa ligger på 400-700 moh. Det er store skavler flere steder.

Mountain weather

Saturday 9. May 2020

8-10 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from west. -5 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

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

Nedbør og litt vind gir gjør at det vil dannes nysnøflak i fjellet. På grunn av lite vind vil skredproblemet finnes mange steder, og flakene vil være myke og lette å løse ut, men trolig ikke gi store skred.

Faren for glideskred er fortsatt tilstede. Slike skred er svært vanskelig å forutse og kan gå uten synlige faretegn.

Mange steder kan skavler være store. Vær forsiktig ved ferdsel langs rygger og på topper.
