Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Monday 04.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with wind-deposited snow, it may be resting on a slippery crust surface. Naturally released avalanches can occur in steep sun exposed faces.

Avalanche problems

New 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

New 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)

Sunday 3. April 2022

Det har kome jamt med nedbør forrige veke og det ligg stadvis svært mykje laussnø. I høgda i vindutsett terreng ligg den kalde nysnøen rett på hard overflate. I lunare formasjonar har snøen lagt seg på fuktig overflate og det er soleis gode bindingar. Vind gjennom sundagen har gitt snøtransport til austlege og søraustlege leheng.
Det er generelt mykje snø i fjellet og snøgrensa er til havnivå.

Det er observert byrjande kanting over 800 moh mellom gamal og ny snø. Det er òg kantkorndanning i solskaren frå tysdagen. Dette er førebels ikkje eit skredproblem, men ein lyt vere merksam på utviklinga.

Det vart sundag rapportert om ein skredtatt i botn av Snortungen i Isfjorden.

Mountain weather

Sunday 3. April 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 18 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during renoon. -11 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 4. April 2022

4 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from north, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -12 °C to -6 °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

Det ligg ferske fokksnøflak i hovedsakleg austlege leheng. Låg temperatur gjer at stabiliseringa går sakte. Stadvis kan flak ligge på hardt underlag, eventuelt svake lag av kantkorn og soleis vere lette å løyse ut.

Store laussnømengder gjer at ein lyt forvente enkelte laussnøskred.


I sørvendte bratte fjellsider lyt ein forvente enkelte våte laussnøskred om sola får tak.
