Avalanche problems

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Tuesday 7. February 2023

Det er mulig å finne myk snø i skjermede formasjoner og i skogen. I fjellet har vinden tatt slik at snødekket nå er generelt vindpåvirket over skoggrensen. Det er generelt mindre snø enn vanlig i regionen, særlig på rygger og vindutsatte steder.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 7. February 2023

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1200 m a.s.l Tuesday night. Moderate gale from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during renoon. -8 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 8. February 2023

No precipitation. Moderate gale from southwest, changing to strong gale from the southwest during the afternoon. -8 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Vindøkning til liten storm utover dagen vil flytte mye snø og danne ferske fokksnøflak i leheng. Disse kan gå naturlig og de kan være lette å løse ut for en skikjører. Skred vil mest sannsynlig bli middels store, men der det samler seg mest snø kan det ikke utelukkes at skred blir store.
