Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Sunday 08.12.2019

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Wind deposited snow is the problem above the new snow line. Below treeline the snowpack is mostly stable.

Avalanche problems

New 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)

Saturday 7. December 2019

Mildværet tidlegare denne veka har gitt fuktig snødekke høgt til fjells. Nysnø og litt vind siste dagane preger snødekket ellers med moderate mengder med fersk fokksnø av ulik hardheit.

Mildværet har truleg ikkje ødelagt lagdelinga i høgda, men gjort egenskapane til svake lag av kantkorn mindre potent.

Ikkje observert skredaktivitet etter skredsyklusen tirsdag.

Laurdag observert 5-10 cm kram nysnø i låglandet og litt snøføyke i høgda.

Mountain weather

Saturday 7. December 2019

10 mm precipitation, up to 25 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from west. -10 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 8. December 2019

5 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the south during the afternoon. -11 °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

Nysnø og vind frå ulike retningar vil gi ferske fokksnøflak i leområder. Gunstig temperatur vil gi forholdsvis rask stabilisering. Det er også gode forhold for kantkornutvikling i snødekket, dette er på sikt lite gunstig for stabiliteten i snødekket.
