Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Monday 17. May 2021

Varmen dei siste dagane har påvirka og omdanna mykje av snødekket. Lågt i fjellet er snøen grovkorna, høgare til fjells er snøen meir lagdelt og finkorna.

Kantkornlag er varmepåvirka og er gradvis i ferd med å forsvinne.

Tuesday 18. May 2021

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

Varme og litt regn vil gje smelting og vassmetting i snødekket. Det gir forhold for eit og anna naturlig utløste våte skred utpå dagen. Ellers generelt stabile forhold.
