Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 2. May 2020

Snøoverflaten er preget av nysnøen fra tidligere i uka. Nysnøen er nå stort sett godt bundet til underlaget. Det finnes stedvis noen ferskere fokksnøflak i nordvestlige heng, men observasjoner tyder på at utbredelsen er liten. Det gamle snødekket er tidligere gjennomfukta og fremstår som stabilt. 

Lørdag meldes det om noen middels store naturlige utløste løssnøskred i Hemsedal. I samme område observeres det et skiløperutløst flakskred rett over skoggrensa.

Det er generelt mye snø i fjellet og i østlige fjellsider er det store skavler.

Mountain weather

Saturday 2. May 2020

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from east, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -5 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 3. May 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -6 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Vær obs på at det kan gå våte løssnøskred i solvendte fjellsider.

Fokksnøen fra tidligere i uka vil nå stort sett ha fått stabilisert seg.

Vær oppmerksom på skavlbrudd som kan utløse skred i underliggende terreng.
