Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

I fjellet er snøoverflaten gjenfryst og hard, men der solen står på og under mildværsgrensa finner man våtere og mykere snø. Snøgrensa har den siste tiden krøpet oppover og ligger nå på rundt 100-300moh de fleste steder.

Det finnes både harde skarelag der vann kan hope seg opp og gamle kantkornlag lenger ned i snødekket. De gamle kantkornlaga har begynt å bli avrundet en del steder, men det har gått store til svært store skred på disse tidligere i mai som f.eks. Tromsdalstind, Hamperokken og Holmbuktura.
