Avalanche warning for region Vest-Finnmark Saturday 24.04.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Be aware of isolated wind slabs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

Friday 23. April 2021

De siste dagene har det kommet noen få centimeter med nysnø som har lagt seg over smelteskaren fra tidligere i uka. Tidligere har det vært plussgrader og regn høyt til fjells. Opp til skoggrensen har snødekket blitt gjennomfuktet i alle himmelretninger.

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

Torsdag løsnet det et lite glideskred på E6 i Stokkedalen.

Mountain weather

Friday 23. April 2021

2-6 mm precipitation. Breeze from northwest, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -9 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 24. April 2021

2-5 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northeast during renoon. -11 °C to -5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Generelt stabile forhold. Litt vind gjør at det kan legge seg opp ferske fokksnøflak i enkelte heng, vær spesielt forsiktig hvis det ligger fersk fokksnø over solskare.

Det kan gå enkelte våte løssnøskred i bratte heng hvis det blir mye solinnstråling.
