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.
Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn og begerkrystaller. Dette finnes enten ved bakken, i forbindelse med skare eller i lag under fokksnøen.
