Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Sunday 03.01.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

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

Avalanche problems

New 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)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Saturday 2. January 2021

Snøoverflaten er preget av kraftig vind foregående helg som har dannet fokksnøflak av ulik hardhet over store områder. I skjermede formasjoner kan det fortsatt være løs, ubunden snø. Det er lite snø under tregrensen, spesielt vest i regionen.

De siste dagene er det kommet litt ny snø. Der denne har lagt seg på hardt underlag er den lett å flytte på.
Natt til lørdag ble det igjen meldt om 5-10 cm nysnø, mest vest for Hjørundfjorden.

Mountain weather

Saturday 2. January 2021

2-6 mm precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -18 °C to -6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 3. January 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -10 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Litt nysnø de siste dagene og vind gir mulighet for ferske flakdannelser. Spesielt utsatt er plasser der vinden får tak som rundt topper, på rygger og i renner. Vinden kan være terrengstyrt og problemet kan finnes i flere himmelretninger.

Ellers generelt stabile forhold.
