Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Saturday 05.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in steep terrain with fresh wind deposited snow.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Friday 4. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt hardt og isete opp til tregrensen. Over tregrensen har vinden tatt godt de siste dagene. Rygger og utsatte områder er delvis avblåst. Myk snø finnes kun i skjermede formasjoner slik som bak rygger og ved inngangen til renner og lignende.

Fredag morgen var det -7,7 °C og 6 m/s fra SØ på Mannen (1291 moh) i Rauma.

Mountain weather

Friday 4. December 2020

No precipitation. Strong breeze from southeast. -10 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 5. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -13 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly 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

I bratte leheng og skjermede formasjoner er det fremdeles mulig å løse ut middels store skred i fokksnøen. Minkende vind lar fokksnøflakene stabilisere seg og det skal nå generelt stor tilleggsbelastning til, slik som en gruppe skikjørere.
