Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches 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)

Monday 21. December 2020

Lørdag har mildvær og regn fuktet snødekket høyt til fjells. Antatt ned til bakken i lavere strøk og der snødekket er tynt i høyfjellet. Det er mest snø i terreng vendt mot vest til nord, avblåst på mange rygger og topper. Såle av gammel snø finnes over 1200 moh, hovedsakelig mot nord til øst.

Lørdag gikk det flere små skred ved Kjønnesvikvatnet, både glideskred og våte løssnøskred.

Litt lavere temperaur i regionen siste døgn.

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

Vind og nedbør gir ferske fokksnøflak, vesentlig i NØ fjellsider. Temperaturen er relativt gunstig for stabilisering, men det kan være mulig for en skiløper å løse ut skred i fersk fokksnø.
