Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Monday 30.05.2022

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)

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 29. May 2022

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.

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

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