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)

Monday 29. March 2021

Mildvêr dei siste dagane har gjennomfukta snødekket. Toppar og ryggar er avblåst eller er dekka av skare. Det er lite snø for årstida i regionen. Snøgrensa er på rundt 500 moh.

Kantkorn danna i kuldeperioda i januar/februar kan framleis vere eit problem høgt til fjells.

På Vikafjellet er det til dels store skavler mot nord og aust.

Mountain weather

Monday 29. March 2021

40 mm precipitation, up to 65 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from south, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during renoon. -1 °C to 4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 30. March 2021

40 mm precipitation, up to 50 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from southwest. -1 °C to 3 °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

Meir regn heilt opp til fjelltopphøgde vil auke belastninga på snødekket der snødekket er lagdelt med gamle is- og skarelag. Her kan det gå naturleg utløyste våte flakskred. Der svakt lag av kantkorn ligg djupt i snødekket kan regnvêret gi stor nok tilleggsbelastning til å løyse ut store skred.
