Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Thursday 02.03.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with recently formed wind slabs. Possible to release small loose avalanches in wet snow at lower elevations.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose snow

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Wednesday 1. March 2023

Det ligger mye snø i fjellet etter en uke med mye nedbør. Snøoverflaten har vært fuktig opp til minst 1000 moh pga mildvær og tåke siden søndag. I høyfjellet består overflaten av fokksnø av varierende hardhet.

I indre og sørlige deler av regionen har det i perioder de siste dagene vært lettere skydekke. Der det er lite skyer og utstråling på natta kan det dannes kantkorn nær overflaten, observasjoner fra Langedalen ved Slettehornet tyder på at slike prosesser er i gang.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 1. March 2023

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -13 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 2. March 2023

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from west. -13 °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

Under mildværsgrensen eller der sola tar kan det være lett å løse ut mindre løssnøskred. Mest utsatt er bratte heng som får soloppvarming.

I høyfjellet kan vind føre til at det legger seg opp noen ustabile fokksnøflak i leområder, særlig mot sør og øst.

Vær obs på at skavler vil svekkes i varmen og lett kan knekke.
