Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

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.

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

Skredfaren avtek raskt når det sluttar å regne. Det er uvisst kor mykje snø som vil ligge igjen etter regnveret. I dei høgaste områda kan det bli danna noko fersk fokksnø, særleg når vinden dreiar og aukar om ettermiddagen. Det kan også ligge att noko fokksnø frå dei siste dagane i desse områda. Det har vore observert lag av rim i snødekket, men dette vil nok bli smelteomvandla i løpet av regnveret torsdag.
