Buried weak layer of new snow

Avalanche risk assessment

Skredfaren kan øke enkelte steder i høyfjellet. Det kan bli nok så ufyselig vær, men det ventes ikke store nysnømengder.

Enkelte steder kan det være små fokksnøflak som er lette å løse ut skred i.

Ellers vil store områder være avblåst og isete. Skredfaren i disse områder er 1-Liten.
