Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Monday 01.01.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh 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)

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)

Sunday 31. December 2023

Snødekket er for ein stor del hardt og avblåst. Det er lite snø i regionen, og mange stader ikkje nok til større samanhengande flak. Det er mest snø i nordvendte heng. Det er litt tørr laussnø og ferskare fokksnø etter snøfall siste veka.

Det er vedvarande svake lag av kantkorn i snødekket, hovudsakleg ved bakken. Truleg mest i indre strôk. Det er ikkje meldt om fareteikn frå dette laget siste tida.

Mountain weather

Sunday 31. December 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the south during the evening. -21 °C to -11 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Monday 1. January 2024

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest. -23 °C to -13 °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

Det er lite snø og få stader med større samanhengande flak. Mest hard og vindpåvirka snø. Enkelte mindre mjuke flak av fokksnø etter snøfall og vind siste veka kan bli påvirka, men er truleg vanskeleg å løyse ut.
