Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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.

Det er lite snø i regionen. Over tregrensa kan det være flakdannelse i noen heng, men de ligger stort sett på bar bakke. Eventuelle skred som løses ut av skiløper vil være små.
