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)

Saturday 22. January 2022

Det er generelt lite snø i regionen med ujevn snøfordeling. Skare og oppstikkende stein på flater og vestvendt terreng. Tykkere og sammenhengdende snødekke i østvendte leformasjoner over 1200 moh. Under den siste fokksnøen er det gamle snødekket hardt og stabilt opp til ca. 1200 moh, etter at Gyda herjet.

Over 1200 moh finnes vedvarende svake lag under fokksnøen.

Lørdag ble det observert et naturlig utløst str. 2 skred i østvendt terreng ved Bjøberg på ca 1300 moh.

Lørdag morgen var det +5 grader på 700 moh i Hemsedal.

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

Mildværet antas å ha en stabiliserende effekt på snødekket og skredfaren avtar. Vær likevel oppmerksom i de formasjonene hvor det er mulig å ferdes på ski. Konsekvensen av selv små skred kan være stor grunnet mye oppstikkende stein. Enkelte steder kan en skiløper påvirke vedvarende svake lag, spesielt på tynt snødekke.
