Highlights

Generally, stable conditions are expected. Mild temperatures and cloudy weather will moisten the snow in all aspects. Be aware that you may trigger loose snow avalanches in steep slopes if the snow is very wet.

If the sun comes out, it may release some snow from steep sun-facing mountainsides, typically below cornices and cliffs.

Keep a safe distance from cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche Activity

Generelt ventes stabile forhold. Milde temperaturer og skyet vær vil fukte opp snøen i alle himmelretninger. Vær obs på at du kan løse ut løssnøskred i bratte heng om snøen er veldig våt. Hvis sola kommer fram utover dagen kan den løsne litt snø fra bratte solvendte fjellsider, typisk under skavler og berg.

Hold god avstand til skavler og sigesprekker.

Snowpack Structure

I nordvendt terreng ble det fredag observert ca 10 cm nysnø fra tidligere i uken som har blitt fuktig og sitter godt på gammel skare. Fra 600m og oppover er nysnøen fortsatt tørr der sola ikke ta tak. Lite tegn til vindtransport. I sørvendt- og lavereliggende terreng har nysnøen blitt fuktet i perioder med sol de siste dagene.

Tendency

Generally, the snowpack is stable and consist of melt forms. Be aware that you may trigger loose snow avalanches in steep slopes if the snow is very wet.

If the sun comes out, it may release some snow from steep sun-facing mountainsides, typically below cornices and cliffs.

Be cautious in north-facing terrain at high altitudes where small wind slabs may be present.

Keep a safe distance from cornices and glide cracks.
