The danger is greatest from Friday evening
Avalanche problems
Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)
Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).
Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)
Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)
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.
Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Mildværet søndag fuktet sannsynligvis snødekket høyt til fjells. Etter dette har det blitt kaldere og snøbyger med kraftig vind har ført til ferske fokksnøflak noen steder, mens andre steder er det avblåst ned til bakken eller et skarelag.
Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn i hele regionen med unntak av lengst ut på kysten. Det har generelt vært vanskelig å påvirke lagene og de anses derfor ikke som et aktivt skredproblem.
