Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Wednesday 09.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (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)

Tuesday 8. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt hardt og isete opp til tregrensen. Over tregrensen har vind fra sørøst sammen høye temperaturer tatt godt de siste dagene. Rygger og utsatte områder er delvis avblåst. Søndag kom det litt nysnø i høyden. Ellers finnes myk snø kun i skjermede formasjoner slik som bak rygger og ved inngangen til renner og lignende.

Tirsdag er det +1 grad på Roaldshornet (1050moh)i Stranda og lite vind.

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

Skredproblemet finnes høyt til fjells i skjermede formasjoner. Det vil generelt kreves stor tilleggsbelastning for å løse ut skred. Vær oppmerksom på at selv små skred på isete overflate eller tynt snødekke kan medføre alvorlige konsekvenser på grunn av oppstikkende stein.
