Avalanche warning for region Vest-Finnmark Thursday 22.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Wednesday 21. April 2021

Det er smelteriller i snøoverflaten opp til ca. 500 moh. I sørvendte fjellsider er snøen smelteomvandlet etter gjentatte smelte-fryse sykluser. I nordvendte fjellsider er snødekket hardere og består av eldre fokksnø.

Det finnes vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn dypt i snødekket, men det skal trolig mye til for å påvirke dette.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 21. April 2021

6-9 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from south, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during renoon. -7 °C to 1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 22. April 2021

2-6 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -10 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

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

Fokksnøen får tid til å stabilisere seg, det skal derfor mer til for å løse ut skred. Generelt stabile forhold.
