Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Saturday 28.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. Use caution in areas with recently formed storm slabs. Remember to use slightly different approaches on wet and dry snow.

Avalanche problems

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).

Loose snow

New 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)

Over tregrensa er det fortsatt mye snø. Noe tørr, lagdelt snø kan finnes i nordvendt terreng over ca. 1500 moh.

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 kommer en del nedbør som gjør at skredfaren øker. Under mildværsgrensen vil det bli opphopning av vann i snødekket som følge av regn. Det ventes enkelte naturlig utløste våte løssnøskred i bratte heng. På de høyeste fjellene i indre deler av regionen vil det kunne legge seg opp ferske nysnøflak.

Unngå ferdsel under glidesprekker, da glideskred er uforutsigbare og kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet.
