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

Solinnstråling og stigende temperatur vil utover dagen svekke snødekket.

Enkelte steder kan flakdannelser ha lagt seg over vedvarende svake lag. Her vil skred kunne løsne naturlig eller være svært lett å løse ut etter hvert som snøen varmes opp.

I bratte fjellsider kan det forventes noen våte løssnøskred utover dagen.

Faren for skred er stigende utover dagen, etter hvert som snødekket varmes opp. Timing er derfor viktig.
