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

Regn i snøen opprettholder faren for våte skred. Det kan være lett å løse ut skred i bratte heng. På utsatte plasser kan skred også løsne av seg selv.

Fortsatt fare for glideskred. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
