Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of isolated wind slabs, otherwise stable conditions.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches 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)

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)

Wednesday 21. April 2021

Snøoverflata er påvirket av sol og høye temperaturer den siste uka og varierer gjennom døgnet og med himmelretning. Det er avblåst til skare eller fjell og fokksnø i de høyeste fjellområdene, ellers våt smelteomdanna snø i de fleste høyder. Skiføre fra ca 500 moh.

Onsdag har det kommet noen cm nysnø i fjellet og det er litt snøfokk.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 21. April 2021

5-8 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from west, changing to strong breeze from the north during renoon. -6 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 22. April 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

Uten ny nedbør stabiliseres de små nysnøflakene fra onsdag raskt. Men tidlig på dagen ventes det at små flak fortsatt kan påvirkes. Der sola kommer frem kan det gå små naturlig utløste skred der nysnøen blir våt.
