Avalanche risk assessment

Temperaturauke og litt regn kan føre til naturleg utløyste skred i snøen som kom fredag. På toppane vil det også vere igjen ferske flak av etter snø og vind fredag. Ver merksam på at der det heng igjen skavlar kan det vere fare for at skavlane kan brekke og falle ned. Der det ligg igjen snø på bratte svaberg kan det også vere fare for glideskred.
