Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Tuesday 29.03.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Easy to trigger large avalanches in exposed places. Avoid lee areas with fresh wind deposit snow from the last days. Glow of sun can cause a risk of loose snow avalanches in the fresh snow.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of new snow

New snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Monday 28. March 2022

Perioder med høy temperatur den siste uken har gitt en smelteomvandlet snøoverflate til 1200-1400 moh. Varmen har også gitt stor snøsmelting og snøgrensen kryper oppover mange steder.
Det er fortsatt mye snø i fjellet, men stedvis avblåst i vestvendte heng. Snøgrensa er på 200-400 moh.

Mountain weather

Monday 28. March 2022

20 mm precipitation, up to 30 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l during renoon. Strong breeze from northwest. -9 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 29. March 2022

8 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from north. -12 °C to -6 °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

Fortsatt snøbyger og vind første del av dagen vil opprettholde problemet med ferske fokksnøflak i høyden. Det ventes kaldt vær og stabiliseringen vil gå sakte. Vær spesielt oppmerksom ved inngangen til heng der det har lagt seg inn mye snø siste de dagene.
Varierende vind gjennom dagen kan også gi mindre flakdannelser i nye hengretninger.
Det kan noen steder være glatt underlag etter mildvær og gjenfrysing. Skred kan derfor gå langt.

Dersom sola titter frem vil dette gi fare for løssnøskred i bratt terreng med løs, ubunden snø.
