Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks.

Avalanche problems

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 29. May 2022

Etter flere dager med mildvær til fjelltopphøyde og fravær av nattefrost består snøoverflaten stort sett av våt eller fuktig smelteomvandlet snø. De siste dagene har det smeltet mye, og under 300 - 600 moh. kan det være bart. Det er fortsatt mer snø enn normalt i fjellet.

Mountain weather

Sunday 29. May 2022

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. -2 °C to 6 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 30. May 2022

No precipitation. Breeze from northeast. 0 °C to 8 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

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

I bratte heng med våt, løs snø kan det fortsatt være lett å løse ut små løssnøskred. Glideskred kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker og skavler.
