Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Use caution on recently loaded slopes in the high alpine. Large avalanches could be triggered. Expect a wet snowpack below treeline.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 22. January 2022

Snøoverflaten består hovedsakelig av fokksnø med varierende hardhet, vindutsatte områder er avblåst med skare eller barmark. Det gamle snødekket anses som stabilt etter "Gyda" og gjenfrysing, unntatt høyt til fjells. Generelt lite snø i lavlandet og i ytre del. Mest snø i indre og høyereliggende del av regionen.

Det ble torsdag meldt om 30-50 cm nysnø i regionen. Fredag og lørdag er det stigende mildværsgrense.

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

Skredfaren vil nå trolig være høyest over mildværsgrensen. Ustabile fokksnøflak ventes.

Midt på dagen blir trolig et lite hvilskjær og snødekket vil stabilisere seg noe.

Under mildværsgrensen vil det fuktige/våte snødekket trolig være stabilt.
