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

De siste dagenes nysnøflak vil gradvis stabilisere seg i roligere vær og det ventes at det etter hvert er færre steder en skiløper kan løse ut skred fra, men skred kan fortsatt bli store.
Vind på utsatte plasser vil også kunne gi noen mindre, ferske nysnøflak som lett kan løses ut. Vær forsiktig i områder der snø fra de siste dagene er bundet til myke flak.

Fare for glideskred selv om temperaturen har gått ned. Vær oppmerksom i områder med glidesprekker.
