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 25. December 2021

Det er lite snø i regionen. Snøoverflaten preges av vekslende skare med mye oppstikkende stein og vegetasjon. På de høyeste toppene kan det ligge noe eldre fokksnø.

Kaldt klart vær har dannet overflaterim på hard snøoverflate. Det blir ikke et problem før det snør ned.

Sist uke har det vært kaldt, stabilt vær og lite nedbør.

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

Det kan være mulig å løse ut små skred der det ligger fokksnø høyt til fjells. Omfanget av fokksnø er begrenset og der den finnes vil den være vanskelig å løse ut.
