Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Thursday 25.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. In some northwest-facing leeward areas are fresh wind slabs that still can be triggered by a skier. Learn to recognize them in the terrain you are traveling.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new snow

Below you can see a description of the current snow cover information and current weather forecast in the mountains. If your observations deviate greatly from what is described here, the warning will not necessarily apply either. Always make your own judgments or stay away from avalanche terrain.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Wednesday 24. April 2024

I ytre strøk kom det litt nysnø mandag, tirsdag og senest onsdag ble det observert litt vindtransport av fersk snø. Med delvis kraftig vind fra øst og sørøst de siste dagene, er det rimelig å antar at det dannet seg noen få fokksnøflak i nordvestvendt terreng. Ellers er snødekket generelt gjennfryst, hardt og isete.

Vedvarende svake lag dypt i snødekket ansees ikke som skredproblem for tiden.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 24. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southeast during the afternoon. -7 °C to 0 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 25. April 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from south. -5 °C to -1 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Advice

The bulletin is a planning tool and may differ from the actual situation. Always make your own evaluation. To be 100 % avalanche safe, avoid all avalanche terrain.

Avalanche risk assessment

Forholdene er generelt stabil på grunn av et hard og frossen snødekke. Noen få steder er det mulig å løse ut mindre skred i fokksnøen som dannet seg i nordvestvendte heng. Lær deg å gjenkjenne fokksnøflak i terrenget.
