Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Saturday 12.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally thin snow cover, but be careful in areas with wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow

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

Skredfaren holder seg lav da det generelt er lite snø og ventet lite påfyll av ny snø. Snøpakken er stort sett stabil, men i enkelte søkk og renner i høyereliggende strøk kan det fortsatt finnes ustabile fokksnøflak.
