Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Wednesday 30.03.2022

Published:
Natural avalanches
The danger increases when the wind picks up. Avoid areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Natural released avalanches might occur.
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. March 2022
Nynsø og sterk vind fra nord preger snøoverflaten nå. Det gamle snødekket er smelteomvandlet og stabilt i store deler av regionen. Observasjoner fra Honningsvåg forrige uke tyder på at fokksnøen stort sett er godt bundet til den underliggende skaren.
Sør i Finnmark er det observert begynnende kantkornutvikling høyt i snødekket. Foreløpig har vi ikke fått observasjoner på det i region Finnmarkskysten.

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 fortsetter med kraftig vind og snøbyger som vil opprettholde faren for ferske ustabile flak. Enkelte naturlig utløste skred kan forekomme. Der det er avblåst vil det være stabilt snødekke med skare på overflaten.
