Avalanche conditions
Continuous NE storms in the last few weeks have accumulated alot of snow, especially in high elevations and has foremed a layered windslab in many places. A weakness in the snowpack can still be found in the north but snow has become somewhat more stable elsewhere. Human triggerd avalanches are considered likely, especially in the north.
Southerly wind, with warm temperatures and rain in the south and west on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with increased wet avalanche activity.
