Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Friday 25.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid terrain traps and big steep slopes. Wait until the fresh snow has stabilized.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

Thursday 24. December 2020

Det var torsdag morgon observert 20-30 cm nysnø i regionen. I høgda er snøen enten vindpakka eller ligg som tørr laussnø. Under tregrensa er snøen fuktig og til dels kram.

Snøgrensa kryp nedover, men ein må framleis opp i 300-500 for å finne samanhengande snødekke.

Ein venter at tidlegare overflatekantkorn er øydelagt av mildvêr ila forrige laurdag.
Kantkorn ved bakken vert ikkje rekna som eit aktivt skredproblem då det ligg under bærande snø/skare.

Thursday 24. December 2020

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 ligg ustabile flak i sør og nordaustlege leområder som treng tid for å stabilisere seg.
