Avalanche danger in western Vindelfjällen - the expert: "Big enough to bury a person"

Anton Grindgärds advises those who intend to leave piste areas to keep an eye on the latest avalanche forecasts and to bring safety equipment with them.

- Right now we are in significant avalanche danger, which means we believe that avalanches can be triggered by people.

And if you go alone, you should stay away from avalanche-dangerous terrain, he says.

Significant avalanche risk, a third on the Environmental Protection Agency's five-point scale, means that the conditions are dangerous and that you must be very careful when choosing where and how to ride.

Anton Grindgärds was on his way out to investigate the area where the avalanches were triggered when SVT spoke to him during the morning - hear him tell about the conditions in the video above.
