Highlights

Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

    • Above 400 m

Avalanche Activity

Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Kraftig vind utover dagen kan legge igjen ustabil fokksnø i nye himmelretninger. Du kan løse ut skred der det legger seg fersk fokksnø. Der det ikke ligger fersk fokksnø er det generelt stabile forhold.

Snowpack Structure

Under skoggrensa er det bra med løssnø, men det blir gradvis mindre opp mot skoggrensa. Rundt skoggrensa er det myk fokksnø. I fjellet er det mange steder lite snø etter at vinden har tatt godt. Snødybden varierer mye, fra bart på rabber til 1,5m i leheng. På fjellet kan det være svake lag av kantkorn langs bakken.

Tendency

Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.
