Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Monday 13.05.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The snow is generally stable, but small avalanches can be triggered in steep terrain where the snow is very wet. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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 12. May 2024

De siste dagene har mildvær påvirket snødekke høyt til fjells.
I lavlandet begynner det å bli lite snø, særlig i sørvendt terreng.

Under skare er det observert kantkorndannelse, men dette antas å være vanskelig å påvirke.

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

Temperaturen stiger ytterligere og opprettholder faren for våte skred. Små skred kan lett løses ut i bratt terreng, og enkelte naturlige utløst skred kan ikke utelukkes. Faren er størst høyt til fjells i heng hvor det finnes fokksnø som ikke har blitt gjennomfuktet tidligere.

Unngå områder under synlige glidesprekker og hvor snøen ligger på bratte svaberg.
