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).

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

I høyden, der det tirsdag dannet seg ferske flak vil det fortsatt være mulig å løse ut skred opp til størrelse 2.
Dreiende vind gjør at problemet nå kan finnes i flere himmelretninger.
Lite snø ellers i terrenget gjør at det er få områder der den nye snøen har en såle av gammel snø under seg.
