Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Sunday 26.02.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with recently formed wind slabs. Rising temperatures may temporarily weaken the snowpack.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

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 25. February 2023

Det har kommet mye snø i høyfjellet de siste dagene, fredag og natt til lørdag kom det stedvis 20-30 cm nysnø i fjellet.
Snøgrensen har variert mellom 0 og 800 moh i løpet av uken. I løpet av fredagen kom det nysnø ned til havnivå. Heng som har vært skjermet for vinden fra vest og nord har mye snø. Opp til skoggrensen er snødekket tynnere enn normalt.

Et middels stort skred ble løst ut på vei opp mot Galtåtind på fredag. Snøskredet var sannsynligvis personutløst. Det er usikkert hva skredet løsnet på.

Mountain weather

Saturday 25. February 2023

9 mm precipitation, up to 18 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from north. -11 °C to -6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 26. February 2023

4 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from west. -8 °C to -2 °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

Nysnøen vil gradvis stabilisere seg men i enkelte leheng kan det fremdeles være mulig å løse ut skred. Vær obs. dersom du ser snøfokk. Da vil det dannes ferske ustabile flak som er lett å løse ut.

Mildvær kan gjøre det lett å løse ut våte skred i brattheng under mildværsgrensen.
