Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches 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)

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)

Thursday 30. March 2023

Under skoggrensen og i skjermede formasjoner er det generelt løs ubunden snø og fint skiføre. Over skoggrensen er det stort sett hard fokksnø eller skare, noen steder med litt nysnø på toppen.

Mountain weather

Thursday 30. March 2023

1-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from northwest. -24 °C to -9 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 31. March 2023

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northeast during the evening. -12 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

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 ventes generelt stabile forhold. Torsdagens dryss av nysnø ventes ikke å har påvirket skredfare.

Den siste tidens klarvær har dannet svake, løse lag i overflaten. Men frem til at vi få et større fokksnøflak over er dette ikke problem.
