Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Thursday 11.01.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally safe avalanche conditions. There is a persistent weak layer that can be triggered where the snowpack is thin.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Wednesday 10. January 2024

Det er hardt, berande snødekke etter mykje vind tidleg på nyåret. Mange stader er det blåst ned på bart fjell eller skare.
Pågåande mildvêr vil starte smelteomdanning av snødekket opp til omlag 800- 1000 moh.

Det er litt kantkornutvikling rundt skare frå mildvær i desember.

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 fjellet er det stort sett hardt og berande snødekke. Det er avblåst til bart fjell eller skare mange stader. Litt nedbør som snø i høgda vil gje enkelte ferske fokksnøflak i leområder.

Mildværet vil gje eit litt mjukare eldre snødekke og gradvis ta spenning ut av snøflaka og stoppe utviklinga av svake lag.

Svake lag av kantkorn kan bli påverka i skjerma små botnar over mildværsgrensa.
