Finnmarkskysten

A change in wind direction means that avalanches may release in SW–NE facing slopes that previously were not particularly exposed. The avalanche danger is greatest in areas where faceted crystals exist beneath wind-drifted snow, and in these areas the slab will be easier to trigger. Since the faceted crystals beneath the crust are not highly developed and lie high in the snowpack, the extent of the avalanche problem is limited.

Cornices are well-developed and may trigger avalanches if they break.

In steep, sun-exposed slopes, small wet avalanches may occur.

Endring av vindretning fører til at skred kan løsne i SV-NØ heng som tidligere ikke har vært spesielt utsatt. Det er i områder hvor det finnes kantkorn under fokksnøen at skredfaren er størst, og flaket vil i disse områdene være enklere å løse ut. Siden kantkornene under skaren ikke er veldig utviklet og ligger høyt i snødekket er utbredelsen av skredproblemet begrenset.

Skavler er velutviklet og kan løse ut skred dersom de knekker.

I bratte solsider kan det løsne små våte skred.

Snøoverflaten består av skare som begynner å bli sprø og løs. Snøbyger siste døgn har lagt et tynt lag med nysnø på overflaten. Flere steder er dette blåst bort, men i leheng ligger fokksnøflak med varierende hardhet. Det er observert kantkorn under overflate skare, men fremstår ikke velutviklet.

Some new snow has arrived but the snowpack is still thin in the region. The avalanche danger is highest in areas where faceted crystals exist beneath wind-drifted snow, and in these areas the slab will be easier to trigger. Since the faceted crystals beneath the crust are not well developed and are located high in the snowpack, the extent of the avalanche problem is limited.
