Avalanche warning for region Sunnmøre Tuesday 30.05.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The snowpack is mostly stable in lower elevations, but if the sun peaks out it can trigger avalanches in the fresh snow in the alpine.

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).

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)

Monday 29. May 2023

Fredag morgen var det nysnøgrense med snødryss ned på ca 750 moh, i høyden kan det ha kommet noe mer. Eldre snø var før dette smelteomvandlet, grovkornet og fuktig eller våt. Det er generelt bart under 750 moh, men snøgrensen kan variere. Snøgrensen er lavest i skyggesider, noen steder går den ned til 400 moh.

Eldre svake lag har i hovedsak smeltet vekk, men det kan være rester av islag i snøen.

Torsdag formiddag snør det over tregrensen på Strandafjellet.

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

Tirsdag blir det oppholdsvær og noe mildere. Dersom solen titter frem vil det fort kunne gå våte løssnøskred i sider høyt til fjells som har fått lastet inn nysnø de siste dagene. Under nysnøgrensen vil det være mindre sannsynlig for naturlig utløste skred, men der mildvær og sol gjør snøen myk og våt kan det fortsatt være lett å løse ut skred.
