Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Saturday 11.02.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Avalanches can be easy to trigger in wind slabs in the mountains, and in wet snow lower in the terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of new snow

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).

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)

Saturday 11. February 2023

Det har vore skiftande vêr den siste tida. Torsdag kom det 10-40 cm nysnø i kombinasjon med vind, men eit frontsystem med nedbør og mildare temperaturar kom inn over regionen fredag ettermiddag. Snøoverflata er difor våt under mildvêrsgrensa som er meldt opptil 1200 moh. Høgare enn dette vil det vere vindpåverka snø av varierande hardheit.

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

Oppdatert lørdag morgen!

Mildværsgrensen har vært kaldere enn forventet slik at det har mer snø fredag og natt til lørdag enn ventet. Enkelte steder vil det være lett for en skikjører å løse ut store skred.

Når temperaturen stiger utover dagen og nedbøren begynner å komme som regn venter vi at det kan gå naturlig utløste skred i takt med at den nyeste snøen fuktes opp.
