Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Sunday 24.12.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs, while persistent weak layers deeper in the snow in general is hard to trigger.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (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). Remote triggering is possible.

Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface

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).

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 23. December 2023

Det har kommet en del nysnø i regionen torsdag-fredag. Nysnøen er vindpåvirket over skoggrensen. Men det er også myk fin snø å finne. Dette ligger oppå snø som ble omdannet i mildværet 16.12. Milværet ga et vått snødekke opp mot minst 1000 moh.

Det er tirsdag observert et nytt vedvarende svakt lag rundt mildværsskaren fra helgen, på fjellet Borga i indre deler av Romsdalen.
Før mildværet var det relativt stor utbredelse av kantkorn i det gamle snødekket. Både rundt skarelag og mot bakken.
Mildvær og regn har nøytralisert de gamle vedvarende svake lagene opp mot minst 1000 moh.

Torsdag-fredag kom det ca. 30 cm nysnø ved havnivå.

Mountain weather

Saturday 23. December 2023

2 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from west. -20 °C to -8 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 24. December 2023

3-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -19 °C to -8 °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 kan fremdeles være lett å løse ut store skred. Fokksnøflak i leheng kan ligge på et vedvarende svakt lag.

Det er også mulig å løse ut middels store skred i ferske nysnøflak som dannes av vinden i løpet av dagen.

Vær oppmerksom på at det under mildværsgrensen kan det løsne enkelte små våte løssnøskred utover dagen.
