Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Tuesday 14. February 2023

Snøen er preget av mildvær sist helg. Selv opp til 1200 moh i indre områder har nedbøren kommet som regn og nysnøen som kom fredag har blitt fuktig og våt. Opptil 900 moh antar vi at hele snødekket er smelteomdanna. Det er mye snø i regionen over 500 moh.

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

Det er generelt stabilt snødekke og få områder i regionen der det er mulig å løse ut snøskred. Der snøoverflaten blir våt som følge av regn kan små våte løssnøskred løses ut en av skiløper i bratt terreng. På de høyeste toppene nord i regionen kan det fortsatt ligge fokksnøflak, men områdene er små og vurderes derfor ikke som et skredproblem.
