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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian), 29.05.2023

Snøoverflaten har vært gjennomfuktet helt opp til fjelltopphøyde. De siste dagene har det kommet litt nysnø i fjellet.

Det eldre snødekket er for det meste smelteomvandlet, men det finnes trolig fortsatt lagdelt snø på de høyeste fjelltoppene.

Det er lite snø igjen under 500 moh. med unntak av Tamokdalen.
