Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Saturday 29.12.2018

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Use caution in steep terrain with fresh wind deposited snow, especially in the alpine.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches 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)

Friday 28. December 2018

Snødekket er i varierende grad påvirket av mildvær og gjenfrysing mellom ca 700-1200 moh. Lavere i terrenget stort sett våt eller fuktig snø. I høyden har vind fra vest gitt en ujevn fordeling av snøen, med nysnø og fokksnø med varierende hardhet på overflaten.

Det er observert begynnende kantkorndannelse nede i snødekket og overflaterim i skjermede lommer før mildværet.

Fredag morgen stedvis 10-20 mm nedbør, mest i ytre strøk og som snø i fjellet. Det var tre minusgrader på Mannen (1294 moh) fredag morgen.

Mountain weather

Friday 28. December 2018

3 mm precipitation, up to 8 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during the evening. -6 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 29. December 2018

6 mm precipitation, up to 16 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from west, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. -7 °C to -3 °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

Nysnø kombinert med vind fra V vil fortsette å gi ustabil fokksnø i leheng vendt mot Ø. Skredproblemet er mest utbredt høyt til fjells, og her kan det være mulig for en skiløper å løse ut middels store skred.

Høyt til fjells kan det ligge vedvarende svake lag i snødekket.
