Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Friday 04.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with recent wind slabs. Wind from southeasterly direction will still strong enough to erode snow on the ground and deposit it in sheltered slopes and couloirs.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Thursday 3. December 2020

Eit snøfall i starten av veka ga tørr laussnø frå om lag 600 moh og opp til om lag 1000 moh. Derfrå var snøen meir vindpåverka. Frå onsdag auka vinden, slik at overflata no vil vere generelt hardare og snødekket ujamt fordelt i terrenget.

Det vart tysdag observert fleire små skred i den dagsferske snøen i Sunnmørsalpane, både naturleg utløyste laussnøskred og skiløparutløyste flak.

Torsdag morgon var det -3 °C på Roaldshornet (1050 moh) i Stranda. Det bles 10 m/s frå søraust.

Mountain weather

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

Vinden minkar litt og held seg på søraustleg retning. Det er framleis forhold for vindtransportert snø, men ikkje like kraftig som tidlegare i veka. Skredfaren minkar litt og færre heng er utsett. Der snødekket er samanhengande, kan ein løyse ut middels store skred i fersk fokksnø.
