Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Wednesday 31.03.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
New snow with wind will create small unstable storm slabs in lee areas. Wet loose avalanches in south and west facing slopes are expected when the sun comes out.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

on some steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

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)

Tuesday 30. March 2021

Mandag formiddag var det nedbør og stigande temperatur som fukta snødekket. Mildvêr fredag har truleg fukta snøoverflata opp til 1200 moh. Høgare oppe var det fokksnøflak i leformasjonar mot nord, men elles skare eller avblåst på ryggar. Det er framleis lite snø for årstida i regionen og begrensa skiføre under skoggrensa mange stadar.

Kantkornlag djupt i snødekket frå kuldeperioden i februar kan framleis vere eit problem nokre stadar høgt til fjells over 1200 moh.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 30. March 2021

6-10 mm precipitation. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the west during renoon. -5 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 31. March 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -8 °C to -3 °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

Det fuktige snødekket vil stabilisere seg når vêret vert kjøligare, men ein skikøyrar kan framleis løyse ut skred i bratte leheng høgt til fjells. Der sola bryt gjennom skydekket kan våte laussnøskred løsne i sørvendte bratte heng.

Høgt til fjells kan det i enkelte heng framleis vere svakt lag av kantkorn djupt i snødekket. Men det er lite sannsynlig at laget framleis er eit aktuelt skredproblem.
