Avalanche Activity

Large natural avalanches are expected. Avoid travel in or near avalanche terrain. Avalanches might impact infrastructure such as roads. Large amounts of snow and wind will overload a weak snowpack. It is uncertain where the weather will be most severe.

Nedbør og vind fortsetter å gi stor pålagring på et svakt snødekke. Store til svært store skred ventes å løsne naturlig. Disse kan nå langt ut i flatere terreng og påvirke infrastruktur og bebyggelse. Snøen kommer på en uvanlig vindretning, og skred kan løsne i sjeldne eller helt nye skredbaner.

Tendency

Large avalanches are very easy to trigger, even remotely from flatter terrain. Avoid travel in or near avalanche terrain with fresh snow from the last few days. The snowpack just got a heavy load, and needs time to adjust.
