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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Eldre snøpakke består av smelteomvandlet fuktig snø med innslag av skarelag. Over dette er det litt tørr nysnø eller fokksnø.

Med kaldere vær kan det bli kantkornutvikling rundt skarelaget som ligger mellom den gamle fuktige snøen og nysnøen som ligger over. Dette kan utvikle seg til et nytt skredproblem.
