Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Monday 11.04.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Very large naturally released avalanches is still possible! After the weekends heavy snowfall with strong winds there are very large unstable slabs in leeward aspects. A persistent weak layer may make the slabs very sensitive and easily triggered. Stabilization of the slabs may be very slow.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a large truck or destroy several houses (size 4). Remote triggering is possible.

Buried weak layer of faceted snow above a crust

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose 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)

Sunday 10. April 2022

Høyt i snøddekket ligger det et lag av kantkorn og rim som ble dannet i overflaten forrige helg. Denne helgen kom det 50-100 cm ny snø i fjellet. Dette ligger nå først og fremst i leheng mot øst og sørøst.

Klarvær i forrige uke har gitt oppbyggende omvandling i snødekket. Det har blitt dannet kantkorn eller rim i flere himmelretninger rundt forskjellige skarelag. Utbredelsen er usikker.
Vær oppmerksom på løs, blank snø rundt skarelag. Dette kan sannsynligvis være kantkorn eller rim.

Søndag 10. april var det omfattende skredaktivitet med skred over vei flere steder og mange observasjoner på store fonner som gikk.

Mountain weather

Sunday 10. April 2022

25 mm precipitation, up to 45 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during renoon. Moderate gale from northwest. -9 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 11. April 2022

15 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from west, changing to breeze from the west during the evening. -9 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

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

Skred kan fortsatt løsne av seg selv! En enkelt skiløper kan løse ut svært store skred! Fjernutløsning er også mulig! Stor pålagring i leheng og vedvarende svake lag i snødekket gjør at det kan være lett for en skikjører at løse ut svært store skred. Vedvarende svake lag gjør at stabilisering av snødekket tar lenger tid enn vanlig.
