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)

Avalanche risk assessment

Våte skred kan løsne av seg selv. Regn og høye temperaturer til topps kan øke skredfaren noe. Mest nedbør vil komme fredag ettermiddag.

I områder hvor det er nok snø kan det være fare for glideskred, glideskred kan løsne hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
