Highlights

Generally, the snowpack is stable an 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.

Avalanche problems

  • Wind slab

    • Above 1,000 m

Avalanche Activity

Generelt smelteomvandlet og stabilt snødekke. Vær obs på at du kan løse ut løssnøskred i bratte heng om snøen er veldig våt. Hvis sola kommer fram vil solvendte brattheng være mest utsatt. Vær varsom i nordvendt terreng høyt til fjells der det kan finnes små tørre fokksnøflak.

Snowpack Structure

Snøgrensen går nå på mellom 200-400moh. Fra 400moh opp til 6-700moh er snødekket lørdag kveld observert å være råttent og smelteomvandlet. Over ca 900moh er det fortsatt tørr snø i nordlige eksposisjoner.

Dypt nede i snødekket, på de høyeste toppene, kan det fremdeles finnes lagdelt vinterlig snø med gamle kantkornlag. Men det har ikke vært noen faretegn knyttet til disse på en stund.

Tendency

The snowpack is mostly stable and consist of melt forms. Significant precipitation is expected, which will fall as snow at higher elevations. As the wind picks up in the evening, fresh slabs will form that may be easy to trigger. In lower-lying areas, rain will increase the likelihood of triggering wet loose snow avalanches when traveling in very steep terrain.
