Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Wednesday 02.05.2018

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Predominantly stable conditions, but be aware in steep lee areas in higher elevations, small dry wind slabs are possible to release. Be careful close to and in terrain traps. If/when the sun comes out, the danger will rise to 2-moderate also in areas where the snow becomes wet and soft.

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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose 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)

Tuesday 1. May 2018

I høgfjellet ligg det mindre fokksnøflak i nord og vestlige renner, søkk og lesider etter kraftig vind natt til tysdag.

Under nysnøen og under snøgrensa er snødekket smelteomdanna etter mildveir til fjelltopphøgde førre veke. Det er venta god drenering i det gamle snødekket.

Snøgrensa ligg mellom 300 og 600 moh.

I høgfjellet der det er lagdelt vintersnø kan dert framleis vere lag med kantkorna snø. Desse laga er ikkje vurdert som skredproblem no.

Det er måndag detektert fleire ferske skred ved den automatiske skredstasjonen i Norddal.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 1. May 2018

Little to no precipitation. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southeast during the evening. -4 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 2. May 2018

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -4 °C to 3 °C at 1400 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

I bratte fjellsider under 1400 moh kan ein løyse ut mindre våte laussnøskred. I høgda kan det framleis ligge mindre ustabile fokksnøflak i nord og vestlege leområder. Flak kan ligge på svakt lag overflaterim enkelte stadar og kan fjernutløysast.

Vær merksam på at gliderskred er vanleg om våren. Unngå terreng under glidesprekkar og glatt underlag (t.d. sva)
