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

Sol og stigende temperatur utover dagen kan gi fare for små, våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng. Både naturlig utløst og personutløst er aktuelt.

I områder hvor det er nok snø kan det fortsatt være fare for enkelte glideskred, glideskred kan løsne hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
