Avalanche problems
Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

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 fra forskjellige retninger har gitt et generelt hardt snødekke av fokksnø. De mest vindutsatte terrengformasjonene er avblåst med mye oppstikkende stein. I skjermede terrengformasjoner kan det være mykere snø.
Lenger ned i snødekket finnes det vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn og begerkrystaller. Dette finnes enten ved bakken, i forbindelse med skare eller i lag under fokksnøen.
