Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Sunday 24.03.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Wind slabs are especially easy to trigger where they are thin or soft.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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

New 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)

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 23. March 2024

Snø og vind fredag la igjen fersk fokksnø i leformasjoner.

I de høyestliggende områdene finnes det litt tørr fokksnø i leområder fra tidligere. Men store områder har hatt hardt snødekke med mykere snø kun i lommer og forsenkinger.

Det har vært svært lite nedbør siste måneden.

Kantkorn rundt skarelag finnes flere steder i snødekket. Trolig mest utbredt i skyggevendt terreng i indre deler av regionen. Dette betraktes ikke som et aktivt skredproblem per dags dato grunnet harde, bærende skarelag over kantkornlag.

Observert str. 2 skred ved Nonshaugen, Vistdalsheia fredag. Skredet er muligens utløst av solinnstråling.

Mountain weather

Saturday 23. March 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the northeast during renoon. -10 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 24. March 2024

3 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 500 m a.s.l Sunday night. Breeze from north. -13 °C to -4 °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

I høyden vil det fortsatt være mulig å løse ut enkelte fokksnøflak fra fredag. Snøbyger i kombinasjon med rolig vind ventes ikke føre til noe endring i faregraden, men kan gi enkelte små nysnøflak på vindutsatte plasser i høyfjellet. Disse ventes å være små, men kan være lett å løse ut når de er ferske.
