Avalanche warning for region Finnmarkskysten Sunday 28.02.2021
Danger level 4 - High avalanche danger
Published:
Natural avalanches
Very dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended. We expect wet slab activity around and below treeline. Wind slabs can be easily triggered in the alpine.
Avalanche problems
Wet snow (slab avalanches)
on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).
Advice
Snow cover (in Norwegian)
Sterk vind fra forskjellige retninger har gitt et generelt hardt snødekke av fokksnø. De mest vindutsatte terrengformasjonene er avblåst med mye oppstikkende stein. I skjermede terrengformasjoner kan det være mykere snø.
Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn og begerkrystaller. Dette finnes enten ved bakken, i forbindelse med skare eller i lag under fokksnøen.
