Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Tuesday 26.03.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but southeasterly winds can create some small fresh wind slabs in leeward slopes that can be triggered by skier/snowmobile.
Sunshine can also trigger a few small loose avalanches in lower terrain.
Older persistent weak layers are considered stable as of now.

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

New snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Monday 25. March 2024

Siste snøfall av betydning kom i midten av forrige uke.
Stort sett består snødekket av fokksnø av varierende hardhet og det er delvis avblåst til bakken eller gammel skare.

Det finnes kantkornlag dypere i snødekket og ved bakken, men dette ligger under harde skarelag og regnes ikke som et skredproblem nå.

Mountain weather

Monday 25. March 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -20 °C to -12 °C at 700 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 26. March 2024

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from south. -18 °C to -12 °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

Generelt stabile forhold. Sørøstlig vind kan ha dannet fokksnøflak i leheng som kan løses ut, men skred blir neppe større enn små.

Det ventes lave temperaturer, men i sørvendte heng der solen tar godt kan det gå enkelte små løssnøskred.

Eldre vedvarende svake lag virker å være stabile for øyeblikket.
