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

Varselet er i hovedsak basert på værprognoser da det er en B-region og få observasjoner av snødekket.

Det roer seg på værfronten, men det kan fremdeles gå naturlig utløste våte skred så lenge regnværet står på. Utvis varsomhet inntil videre.
