Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Monday 03.01.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Naturally released loose avalanches can occur in the lower areas

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Avalanche risk assessment

Så lenge det kjem snø og er vind i fjellet kan framleis skred løysne naturleg. Skredfaren avtek når veret roar seg i løpet av dagen. Tidlegare denne veka har det vore sterk vind frå fleire retningar og det ligg fokksnø i fjellet som det også er mogeleg å løyse ut skred i. I låglandet er det forventa at dei fleste våte skred som skulle løysne gjekk søndag og det er begrensa med snø igjen som kan lage skred i bratt terreng. Men der det ligg snø som får regn på seg kan det framleis løysne skred.
