Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Sunday 29.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Use caution in areas with recently formed wind slabs. Below the rain line small wet avalanches can be dangerous in exposed terrain and around terrain traps.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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

På de høyeste fjellene i indre deler av regionen vil det legge seg opp ferske fokksnøflak i leområder som kan være lette å løse ut. Under mildværsgrensen vil det bli opphopning av vann i snødekket som følge av regn. Det vil være lett å løse ut våte løssnøskred i enkelte bratte heng.
