Finnmarksløpets press center has tonight been in contact with the Meteorological institute to get a direct update on the weather conditions on the stretch between Karasjok and Alta.
In the thread, the duty meteorologist Jon Austerheim informed that tonight, on this stretch, it will be little wind, clear weather, with some fog and frost smoke. The temperature can go down to minus 35 degrees.
- It may be a cold walk them across the plateau, ends Jon Austerheim. These are factors that mushers are prepared to face both in relation to mandatory equipment that will meet the needs of dogs. The mushers are also mentally prepared for this.
To put it this way: mushers have been out in a winter day before. Good trip and may the best win!
