Avalanche Activity

If/when the sun comes out, the danger will rise in areas where the snow becomes wet and soft. Some natural avalanches can occur. Predominantly stable conditions, but be aware in steep lee areas in higher elevations, small dry wind slabs are possible to release. Be careful close to and in terrain traps.

Torsdag kommer med klarvær og der solen tar godt vil det utover dagen kunne gå naturlig utløste våte skred. Fokksnøen i fjellet vil stabilisere seg videre, men kan fortsatt være mulig å løse ut, særlig i skyggefulle heng høyt til fjells.

Snowpack Structure

Det har snødd og blåst en del i fjellet i starten av uken. Før dette var snødekket vått eller fuktet høyt til fjells, noen steder gjenfryst til skare i overflaten.

Tendency

High temperature elevates the danger of natural occurring wet avalanches. Be careful with recently formed wind slabs at high elevations. Remember to use slightly different approaches on wet and dry snow.
