Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Monday 30.03.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Sun and rise of temperature can produce small wet avalanches.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Poor bonding between crust and overlying snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Not given on a few 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)

Sunday 29. March 2020

Stadvis mykje nysnø siste døgnet og sterk vind frå nordvest har lagt snø inn i søraustvendte heng. Mildvêr med påfølgjande tilfrysing førre veke gjer at det danna seg glatt skare under 1000 moh i fjellet. Over denne høgda er det gamle snødekket ei blanding av eldre fokksnø ispedd litt skarelag,


I lågareliggjande fjellområder virkar snøpakken å vere gjennomfukta med god drenering og stabil oppbygnad.

Observatør i Ørsta melder tidleg sundag om 15-20 cm nysnø.

Det er observert mykje store skavlar i aust- og nordlege fjellsider.

Mountain weather

Sunday 29. March 2020

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from northwest. -12 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 30. March 2020

3-5 mm precipitation. Breeze from north, changing to fresh breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -10 °C to -4 °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

Det ligg fokksnøflak i søraustlege lesider som treng tid på å stabilisere seg. Stadvis kan desse ligge på glatt skare og vere lette å løyse ut.

I bratte soleksponerte fjellsider lyt ein forvente våte laussnøskred utover dagen når sola får varme opp snødekket.

Ein lyt òg vere merksam på store skavlar i aust- og nordvendte fjellsider.
