You can 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)

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)

Friday 19. April 2024

Snøen frys til om natta, og utover dagen blir den mjuka opp i bratte solvendte sider.

I skuggevendt terreng høgt til fjells er det tørrare snø.

Det gamle snødekket er generelt stabilt og i stor grad smelteomdanna.

Det har smelta mykje snø og på rabbar og ryggar er det bart. I låglandet er det lite snø.

Vêrforholda siste dagane gir høve for kantkorn- og rimdanning.

Mountain weather

Friday 19. April 2024

3-6 mm precipitation. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l. Breeze from southeast. -5 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 20. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from north. -8 °C to 2 °C at 1100 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

Det er enkelte tørre fokksnøflak i bratt skuggevendt terreng som kan bli påvirka av skiløpar. Det er ellers venta stabile forhold.

Hald avstand til skavlar og unngå opphald under sigesprekker. Både skavlbrudd og glideskred er vanskelig å forutsjå.
