Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Saturday 25.02.2023

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid areas with fresh storm slabs. If the sun gets out, the probability for avalanches will increase.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches 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

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 25. February 2023

Det har kommet mye snø i høyfjellet den siste uken. Snøgrensen har variert mellom 0 og 800 moh i løpet av uken. Snøen i høyfjellet er generelt noe vindpåvirket. Heng som har vært skjermet for vinden fra vest og nord har mye myk snø.

Et middels stort skred ble løst ut på vei opp mot Galtåtind på fredag. Snøskredet var sannsynligvis personutløst.

Friday 24. February 2023

20 mm precipitation, up to 30 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l Friday night. Fresh breeze from north. -10 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

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

OPPDATERT LØRDAG MORGEN 8:50
Det har kommet mye nysnø fredag kveld og natt til lørdag.
I leområder vil det stedvis være lett å løse ut skred i nysnøen.

Dersom solen kommer frem i perioder vil det øke sjansen for å løse ut skred i solvendte brattheng.
