Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Friday 26.04.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Solar radiation may result in natural avalanche activity. Avlanches could also be triggered by skiers. The avlanche activity are increasing during the day.

Avalanche problems

Wet 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)

Thursday 25. April 2024

I ytre strøk kom det litt nysnø i begynnelsen av uken og senest onsdag ble det observert litt vindtransport av fersk snø. Med delvis kraftig vind fra øst og sørøst de siste dagene, forventes det dannelse av noen få fokksnøflak i nordvestvendt terreng. Ellers er snødekket generelt gjennfryst, hardt og isete. Økende temperaturer fra torsdag myknet opp snøoverflaten noe, særlig i solutsatt terreng.

Mountain weather

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

I bratte solvendte heng vil mindre skred løsne av seg selv. Som skiløper kan man også løse ut skred og konsekvensen for å bli revet med kan bli stor i områder med terrengfeller som skog og klipper.
