Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Sunday 8. May 2022

Snødekket består i stor grad av smelteomvandlet snø etter en lengre periode med mye sol og høye temperaturer. I nordlig sektor høyt til fjells, kan snødekket fremdeles være vinterlig, men også her preget av varme i overflaten. Øst i regionen er snømengden skiftende med flere bare områder. Snømengden øker vestover i regionen hvor det er mer sammenhengende skiføre i fjellet.

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

Smeltefrysesykluser gjennom døgnet vil stabilisere snødekket. På dagtid vil oppvarming kunne gi våte løssnøskred i bratte fjellsider.
Vær oppmerksom på glidesprekker og skavlbrudd,
