Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3). Remote triggering is possible.

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Advice

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sterk vind frå varierande retning har generelt gitt eit hard snødekke av fokksnø. Dei mest vindutsette terrengformasjonane er avblåst med mykje oppstikkande stein. I skjerma terrengformasjonar kan det vere mjukare snø.

Lengre ned i snødekket er det vedvarande svake lag av kantkorn og begerkrystallar. Dette finnast enten ved bakken, i samband med skare, eller i lag under fokksnøen.
