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

Solinnstråling og auka temperatur i løpet av dagen vil svekke snødekket.
Det ligg enkelte flak på vedvarande svake lag i snødekket. Skred kan gå naturleg og vere svært enkelt å løyse ut.

I bratte fjellsider lyt ein forvente nokre våte laussnøskred utover dagen.
