Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Sunday 02.01.2022

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow in the high mountains. Wet avalanches are expected in the lower areas.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Saturday 1. January 2022

Det ligg mykje laussnø på snøoverflata. Nysnøen har falt heilt ned til fjorden. Over tregrensa er det bindingar i snøen, men den er framleis laus nok til å bli flytta av vind.

Laurdag vert det observert laussnøskred i bratt terreng i Innfjorden.

Det finst eit svakt lag i snødekket som vart danna under klarvær vesle julafta, laget gjev utslag på testar men overliggande snø bærer godt og har lite spenningar.

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

Temperaturauke og regn vil føre til naturleg utløyste våte skred i låglandet. I høgfjellet kan det løysne turre flakskred medan vinden står på. Tidlegare denne veka har det vore sterk vind frå fleire retningar og det ligg fokksnø i fjellet som det også er mogeleg å løyse ut skred i.
