Avalanche Activity

Fresh wind slabs are building up, mainly in terrain facing southwest to west. Avalanches may release naturally. Keep your distance from avalanche terrain.

Snø og vind fra nordøst vil gjøre at det bygger seg opp ustabil fokksnø i lesider mot sørvest. Middels store skred kan løsne av seg selv.

Snowpack Structure

Snødekket er preget av mildvær den siste tiden som har ført til mye smelteomvandling, antakelig helt opp til fjelltoppene i ytre strøk. Høyt til fjells i indre strøk er snødekket preget av sterk vind fra vest-sørvest. I indre deler av regionen er det tidligere observert kantkorn i snødekket. Dette ligger stort sett under hard vindpåvirket snø.

Tendency

It will be easy to trigger avalanches in fresh wind-drifted snow, especially on leeward slopes facing south and southwest. In areas where a lot of snow has accumulated, some avalanches may also release naturally.

As the day progresses, the wind-drifted snow will gradually stabilize, but still keep a good distance from steep terrain where larger amounts of wind-drifted snow have built up.
