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

I områder med våt løssnø i overflaten kan det være mulig å løse ut skred. Mest utsatt vil være de områdene som har fått nysnø de siste dagene. Eldre smelteomvandlet snø er stort sett stabil. Vær oppmerksom der det finnes skavler, disse kan brekke og falle ned. Der det ligger snø på bratte svaberg kan det også være fare for glideskred.
