Avalanche Activity

Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Wind slabs are especially easy to trigger in the high mountains where it was a good snow cover before.

Lengst vest i regionen kan det komme mye nysnø i kombinasjon med sterk vind. Det vil dannes ferske fokksnøflak, som kan være lett å løse ut.

Snowpack Structure

Det er lite snø i regionen. Det er fremdeles mange steiner og vegetasjon som stikker opp. Det lå løs ubunden snø ned til bakken før regnværet traff søndag. I høyden lå løssnøen på et hardt skarelag. Mildværet søndag antas å ha nøytralisert snødekket.

Tendency

Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Wind slabs are especially easy to trigger where they are thin or soft.
