Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Monday 24.04.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in and close to terrain traps and on steep slopes until the new snow has stabilized. Be aware that persistent weak layers can be hidden in the snow pack.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Sunday 23. April 2023

Ny snø fra natt til søndag har i høyden lagt seg over et hardt, gammelt snødekke. Dette var smelteomvandlet i alle solsider og tørt og kaldt i skyggesider i høyden.

I nordsider kan det finnes kantkorn mellom skarelag. Laget bryter lett og glatt i tester, men overliggende snø er bærende og det skal mye til å påvirke laget.

Mountain weather

Sunday 23. April 2023

10-14 mm precipitation. Rain up to 500 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from northeast. -7 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 24. April 2023

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from northeast. -8 °C to -4 °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 være lett å løse ut skred i den nye snøen over tregrensen. Mest utsatt er rundt kuler og rygger, der vinden får tak og binder snøen til myke flak. Små, og noen steder middels store skred er mest aktuelt. Vær ekstra varsom i "gamle" skyggesider der den nye snøen kan ha lagt seg på en svak snødekkeoppbygging (overflaterim eller kantkorn).
Hard snøoverflate under den nye snøen kan gi god glideflate for eventuelle skred.

Det kan fortsatt være fare for glideskred gjennom hele døgnet. Slike skred kan bli store. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.
