Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Avalanche risk assessment

Vær varsom i områder som samler snø. Kraftig vind og noe nedbør kan danne ustabile fokksnøflak.
Ellers ventes store områder å være avblåst og ha stabile forhold.
