Be careful in and close to terrain traps and on steep slopes until the new snow has stabilized. Be aware that persistent weak layers can be hidden in the snow pack.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Avalanche risk assessment

Kaldere vær utover dagen gjør at skredfaren avatar. Våte skred blir mindre aktuelt. Over fredagens mildværsgrense kan det finnes ustabile nysøflak i de høyeste fjellområdene.

Høgt til fjells finnes det svake lag av kantkorn dypt i snødekket i enkelte heng. Laget er vanskelig å påvirke, men kan gi store skred hvis det først løsner.
