Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Monday 22.04.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Wind deposited snow could rest on a weak layer of buried surface hoar.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2). Remote triggering is possible.

Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

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 21. April 2024

Det er nysnø over regionen etter eit større snøfall laurdag. Nysnøgrense ned mot omlag 100 moh, men smeltar raskt i låglandet.

Det gamle snødekket er stabilt og i stor grad smelteomdanna og hardt til fjelltopphøgde

Det har smelta mykje snø i forkant av snøfallet, og i låglandet er det generelt lite snø. Snøgrensa for den eldre snøen varierer mellom 300 - 600 moh.

Det er fredag observasjon på kantkorn i overflata, på hardt underlag.
Søndag er det observert mange drønn i snøen i ein botn ved Nyheitind.

Mountain weather

Sunday 21. April 2024

2-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from west. -12 °C to -1 °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

Mjuke fokksnøflak frå snøfallet laurdag ligg på kantkorn/ rim i skuggevendte botnar i høgda. Denne snøen har no fått stabilisert seg ein del, men flaka kan truleg lett bli påvirka av skiløpar. Det harde, eldre snødekket gjer at brudd i flaka forplantar godt, og forsterkar såleis skredproblemet.
Vær derfor varsom i slike terrengformer. Sprekker og drønn i snøen er tydelige teikn.

Utpå dagen når varmen stig kan det være lett for skiløpar å løyse ut våte skred i nysnøen.

Ved sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred.
