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)

Friday 21. January 2022

Der det ligger sammenhengende snø består snøoverflaten hovedsakelig av vindpåvirket snø med varierende hardhet. Det gamle og stedvis beskjedne snødekket antas å være stabilt etter mildvær og gjenfrysing. Det er generelt lite snø i regionen.

Få observasjoner de siste dagene, men det er også lite snø i store deler av regionen.

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

Mildvær og regn trekker høyere i terrenget og det kan føre til naturlig utløste våte flakskred og løssnøskred. De fleste skredene til trolig bli små, eller i noe få heng middels store.

Over mildværsgrensen skal det nå mer til å løse ut skred i fokksnø, skred som løsner kan bli middels store. Utbredelsen er begrenset pga lite terreng over mildværsgrensen.
