Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Tuesday 2. April 2024

Både måndag og tysdag, og også i dagane før, har det kome noko nysnø i regionen. Mest på kysten.

Det finnes kantkornlag djupare i snødekket og med bakken, men desse ligg under harde skarelag og reknast ikkje som eit skredproblem.

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

Der det kjem mest snø og vind kan det gå enkelte naturleg utløyste skred. Regionen ligg i utkanten av eit lågtrykksområde og det er stor usikkerheit i nedbørs og vindprognosane. Kystområda er mest utsett.
