Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Saturday 23.03.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in winddeposited snow from friday. A few places a sier can trigger avalanches. Otherwise stablising conditions with colder temperatures and no precipitation.

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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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)

Friday 22. March 2024

Vind og snø fredag legger igjen mer snø i fjellet.

I de høyestliggende områdene finnes det litt tørr fokksnø i leområder fra tidligere. Men store områder har hatt hardt snødekke med mykere snø kun i lommer og forsenkinger.

Det har vært svært lite nedbør siste måneden.

Kantkorn rundt skarelag finnes flere steder i snødekket. Trolig mest utbredt i skyggevendt terreng i indre deler av regionen. Dette betraktes ikke som et aktivt skredproblem per dags dato grunnet harde, bærende skarelag over kantkornlag.

Observert str. 2 skred ved Nonshaugen, Vistdalsheia fredag. Skredet er muligens utløst av solinnstråling.

Mountain weather

Friday 22. March 2024

6 mm precipitation, up to 16 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l Friday night. Strong breeze from southwest. -8 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 23. March 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to breeze from the northeast during renoon. -10 °C to -1 °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 kan være lett å løse ut fokksnøflak fra fredag enkelte steder. Typisk i konvekst terreng. Milde temperaturer gjør at snøen i fjellet stabiliserer seg raskt og skredfaren er synkende. Der sola får tak kan det være lett å løse ut små skred i bratt terreng.
