Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Wednesday 23. December 2020

Snøoverflaten er dekket av et tynt skarelag som gir gjennomslag de fleste steder. Den fuktige snøen fra helgen er i ferd med å tørke ut.

Det er generelt lite snø i fjellet og mesteparten av snøen er samlet i renner og forsenkninger i fjellet. Rabber og rygger er stort sett avblåst. Det er mye oppstikkende stein.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 23. December 2020

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

Det er lite snø og liten skredfare. Stedvis kan det komme noen fjon av nysnø som letter julestemningen.

Se opp for stein som er gjemt under et tynt lag med nysnø.
