Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Monday 22.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avlanches in steep terrain where the snow is very wet. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

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)

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)

Sunday 21. May 2023

Snøgrensa varierer i regionen og er høgast i sørvendte hellingar og lengst ut mot kysten. Stadvis er det snø ned til 400 - 500 moh. Det er i hovudsak fuktig eller våt grovkorna, smelteomvandla snø. Om det blir klart om natta vil det vere skare frå morgonen som tiner utover dagen.

Eldre svake lag har i hovudsak smelta, men det kan vere restar av islag.

Mountain weather

Sunday 21. May 2023

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 er generelt stabile tilhøve. I bratt terreng med veldig våt snø kan det vere mogleg å løyse ut mindre laussnøskred. Snøen kan bli svært våt der sola tek om dagen og der det regnar på kvelden. Det er stor usikkerheit i nedbørsprognosene, men om det kjem mykje regn kan skred gå naturleg. Skavlbrot og glideskred kan førekomme.
