Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

Wednesday 22. December 2021

Snøpakka ble gjennomfuktet opp til omtrent 1200 moh under mildværet forrige uke og har nå frosset til. På de høyeste toppene kan det ligge noe fokksnø. Det er ikke et sammenhengende snødekke, stein og vegetasjon stikker opp flere steder.

Siden mildværet i forrige uke har det vært kaldt, stabilt vær.

Mountain weather

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

Litt påfyll av snø kan gi små myke fokksnøflak det kan være mulig å løse ut skred i. Skredproblemet legger seg gjerne i små forsenkninger. Fra før av er det lite snø i terrenget.
