Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Wednesday 01.03.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with recently formed wind slabs. Possible to release small loose avalanches in wet snow at lower elevations.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

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)

Tuesday 28. February 2023

Det ligger mye snø i fjellet etter en uke med mye nedbør. Snøoverflaten har vært fuktig opp til minst 1000 moh pga mildvær og tåke siden søndag. I høyfjellet består overflaten av fokksnø av varierende hardhet.

I indre deler av regionen kan det i perioder de siste dagene ha vært lettere skydekke. Der det er lite skyer og utstråling på natta kan det dannes kantkorn nær overflaten.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 28. February 2023

4-8 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l. Breeze from northwest. -5 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 1. March 2023

2-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from northwest. -10 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Det kan fortsatt gå noen våte løssnøskred i brattheng under mildværsgrensen eller der sola tar, men antallet ventes å gå ned etter at det nå har vært mildvær noen dager.

I høyfjellet er det størst sannsynlighet for å løse ut skred i leområder mot sør og øst i områder hvor det eventuelt kommer litt nysnø.

Vær obs på at skavler vil svekkes i varmen og lett kan knekke.
