Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Saturday 07.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Awoid lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Friday 6. May 2022

Mildvær torsdag og fredag ga en våt snøoverflate opp mot 1500 moh.
I sør, øst og vest er det gamle snødekket smelteomvandlet høyt opp, mens i bratte nordvendte heng i høyden kan det fortsatt ligge vintersnø. Men også her er snøoverflaten påvirket av mildvær.

Noen steder er det observert kantkorn i snødekket i høyden i nordvendte heng.

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

Vinteren gjør visitt med snøbyger og synkende snøgrense. Over tregrensen vil kraftig vind og snøbyger danne ferske fokksnøflak, vær spesielt oppmerksom i leheng mot sørøst og annet terreng som samler snø. Det kan være lett å løse ut skred i ferske fokksnøflak og middels store skred er mest aktuelt. I heng som ligger utsatt til kan det også legge seg inn nok snø til å gi store skred.

Temperaturen vil gå ned og faren for våte skred vil etter hvert avta. Det vil fortsatt være fare for enkelte glideskred, glideskred kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
