Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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

Snøværet fortsetter og den ferske fokksnøen ventes å være ustabil.

Vinden skal ta seg opp fra ny retning og det vil kunne danne seg ustabile fokksnøflak i nye områder.

Vær oppmerksom på andre farer som skjulte steiner under snøen.
