Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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 økende vind fra sørøst utover dagen gi ferske flakdannelser i heng som samler snø. Her vil det være lett å løse ut middels store skred for en skiløper eller skuter.
Skiftende vindretning de siste dagen gjør at problemet også kan finnes i flere himmelretninger.
Lite snø ellers i terrenget gjør at det mange steder ikke vil finnes såle av gammels snø under den nye snøen og dermed lavere fare for skred.
