Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in terrain with fresh storm slabs until the new snow is stabilized.

Avalanche problems

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).

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)

Snøoverflaten er varierende. Mildvær opp til 700 moh har påvirket snøen i lavlandet. Over skoggrensen er det avblåst ned på hard skare på vindutsatte plasser, mens det fremdeles kan være myk snø i skjermede terrengformasjoner.

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

Noe nysnø i fjellet kan gi lommer av ustabil snø i brattheng. Et fuktig snødekke vil stabilisere seg relativt raskt. Vær allikevel obs. i bratt terreng.
