Avalanche warning for region Vest-Finnmark Wednesday 30.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but wind slabs can be present in isolated features.

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 layers in wind deposited 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)

Tuesday 29. December 2020

Det er snø helt ned til fjæra, men snødekket er tynt under 100 moh. I lavlandet og opp til ca. 600 moh. er det et tynt skarelag. I høyden er det hard vindpåvirket snø.

Selv om det ikke har kommet noe særlig med nysnø på flere dager så er det mulig å finne ubunden snø i formasjoner der vinden ikke kommer til.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 29. December 2020

No precipitation. Strong breeze from southeast. -11 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 30. December 2020

No precipitation. Strong breeze from southeast. -13 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Lite snø og generelt stabile forhold. Det er mulig å løse ut skred i enkelte leheng med fokksnø.

Det har vært jevnt mye vind fra sørøst og lite nysnø den siste tiden, fortsatt sterk vind fra sørøst vil derfor ikke endre situasjonen.
