Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Saturday 28.03.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Wind and fresh snow may give instable conditions in some slopes. Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger. Avoid convex terrain.

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)

Friday 27. March 2020

Det ligg litt tørr snø høgt til fjells, ellers ber snødekket preg av milde temperaturar og påfølgjande tilfrysing i førre veke. I låglandet er snøen generelt våt.

Snøpakken vitnar generelt om ein vinter med kraftig vind og fleire omgangar med mildvêr.

Mountain weather

Friday 27. March 2020

4-6 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to moderate gale from the west during the evening. -7 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 28. March 2020

8 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest Saturday night. -12 °C to -6 °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

Kraftig vind frå vest til nordvest og stadvis mykje nedbør vil gje god snøtransport til søraust- og austlege leheng. Her vil ein få ferske fokksnøflak som enkelte stadar kan ligge på glatt skare og soleis vere lette å løyse ut.

Skredproblemet er størst i austleg del av regionen som får mest nedbør.
