Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

Sunday 4. December 2022

Det er svært lite snø for årstiden. I noen terrengformasjoner i høyden finnes det snø fra oktober, ellers er det kun skiføre på breer og i forsenkninger med snø fra forrige vinter. Snøen er smelteomdannet og isete.

Mountain weather

Sunday 4. December 2022

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southeast. -12 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 5. December 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 17 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l during renoon. Breeze from west, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1400 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

Økende snøskredfare utover dagen. Ny snø og vind vil på utsatte plasser gi fokksnøflak over tregrensen. Den nye snøen vil hovedsakelig legge seg på barmark, men utsatte heng kan etter hvert få nok snø til å gi lagdelinger og flakdannelser.
Ferske flakdannelser vil være ustabile. Skred vil bli små, men husk at konsekvensene kan bli store når det ikke er såle i terrenget.
