Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Saturday 28.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
The snow is generally stable, but skiers can trigger small avalanches in some steep areas with wet and soft snow surface. Pay extra attention to sun exposed areas. Keep a good distance from cornices.

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)

Snøgrensa ligger på ca 200 moh. i kystnære strøk. Sør- og østvendte fjellsider har mest snø. Snødekket er smelteomvandla og hardheten på snøoverflaten vil avhenge av eventuell tilfrysing på nettene.

Avalanche risk assessment

Regionen vurderes til å ha et generelt stabilt snødekke. I soleksponerte heng kan likevel skiløpere løse ut små skred.
Hold god avstand til skavler.
