Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Monday 14.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. 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 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)

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)

Sunday 13. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt tynt og snøoverflaten varierer mellom å være hard og isete eller litt mykere med overflatekantkorn.

Kaldt og klart vær har den siste tiden gitt gode forhold for å danne overflatekantkorn. Dette gjør at det noen steder igjen blir en mykere snøoverflate.

Mountain weather

Sunday 13. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -9 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 14. December 2020

0-3 mm precipitation. Strong breeze from southeast. -8 °C to -1 °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

I høyden vil kraftig vind kunne gi små, ferske fokksnøflak som kan være lett å løse ut for skiløpere. Problemet er mest aktuelt i utsatte terrengformasjoner som bak rygger og inngang til renner.
Vær oppmerksom i overgangen mellom harde og myke flak og husk at selv små skred på isete overflate, eller tynt snødekke kan medføre alvorlige konsekvenser på grunn av oppstikkende stein.
