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 can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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 28. May 2022

Snødekket er preget av varme som har gitt et smelteomdannet og homogent snødekke. Det er mye vann i øverste del av snøpakka. Det ligger snø ned til 500-600 moh i nordlige himmelretninger, mens man må opp til rundt 900 moh i sørlige retninger. Bekker og elver er delvis eller helt åpne. Det er fortsatt mye snø i høyfjellet.

Onsdag meldes det om glidesprekker under utvikling i Kvassdalen.

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

Når temperaturen stiger utover dagen kan det løses ut våte løssnøskred.
Vær oppmerksom på skavlbrudd og glideskred.
Glideskred er uforutsigbare og kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
