Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Tuesday 01.02.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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)

Monday 31. January 2022

Mandag er snøoverflaten variert, etter svært kraftig vind. Stedvis løs snø der vinden ikke har tatt eller der det kom nysnø når vinden løyet søndag. Der vinden har tatt finnes fokksnø av ulik hardhet. Spesielt vindutsatt terreng er avblåst ned til skare eller bakken.
Snømengde varierer. Mye snø høyt til fjells og i formasjoner som samler snø. Det er fortsatt lite snø i lavlandet.

Observatør meldte om 20 cm nysnø ved Eitrefjellet søndag, og nytt snøvær traff regionen mandag.

Mountain weather

Monday 31. January 2022

7-10 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from southeast, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the evening. -14 °C to -7 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 1. February 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the north during the evening. -13 °C to -6 °C at 1400 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

Der vinden blir sterk nok til å flytte snø vil det dannes ferske ustabile fokksnøflak i leområder. Det er lett å løse ut skred i fersk fokksnø i noen heng, og skiftende vindretning fører til at den ligger på lur i flere himmelretninger.
