Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Thursday 31.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in steep terrain with wind deposited snow.

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).

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Wednesday 30. December 2020

Snøoverflaten er preget av kraftig vind søndag. Den løse snøen fra forrige uke har dannet fokksnøflak av ulik hardhet. I skogen har nysnøen sunket sammen og er delvis gjenfrosset.
Det gamle snødekket fra tidligere i desember er smelteomdannet og hardt etter flere runder med mildvær. Det er lite snøsåle under tregrensa, spesielt vest i regionen.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 30. December 2020

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to calm/light breeze from the southeast during the afternoon. -10 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 31. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from north. -9 °C to -4 °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

Forholdsvis høy temperatur under snøfallet i helgen og på mandag gjør at stabilisering av fokksnøen går raskt, og det vil generelt kreves større tilleggsbelastning for å løse ut skred nå.
Litt nysnø i høyden kombinert med lite vind forventes bare å forbedre skiføret.
