Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Sunday 13.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Not much snow and generally safe conditions. Smaller slabs of wind deposited snow can be triggered in isolated features.

Avalanche problems

New 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)

Poor bonding between crust and overlying 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.

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

Litt nysnø kombinert med vind opptil kuling fra nordøst kan føre til at det dannes noen små, ferske nysnøflak i leheng. Disse vil være lette å påvirke, men størrelsen på flakene og utbredelsen av disse vil være liten.
