Avalanche bulletin

Avalanche conditions

Snow has subsided considerably but instability could remain high in the mountains and by terrain traps in the Eastfjords and the North. Small slabs could be present in the Westfjords. A skier triggered an avalanche this week in Norðfjörður on May 1st. Some new snow could be added in SW wind and showers of snow in the highlands.
