Significant avalanche danger in Troms and Finnmark
There is significant avalanche danger in Troms and Vest-Finnmark due to strong winds and snowdrift.
According to reports from Varsom, there is significant avalanche danger in Troms and Vest-Finnmark caused by strong winds and blowing snow, which have resulted in the formation of fresh snowdrifts that will take time to stabilize. The condition of the snowpack has raised concerns due to the presence of deeper weak layers around crusted layers that could easily be triggered, indicating a precarious situation for backcountry enthusiasts and local residents. Given the unpredictability of these weak layers, the avalanche warning experts recommend a conservative approach to areas prone to avalanches, urging caution among those engaging in outdoor activities in the affected regions.
