Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Monday 27.02.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with recently formed wind slabs. Possible to release small loose avalanches in wet snow at lower elevations.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few 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)

Sunday 26. February 2023

Det har kommet mye snø i høyfjellet de siste dagene. Snøoverflaten er generelt myk men noe vindpåvirket. Det er mye løs snø i terrenget. Det har snødd helt ned til havnivå men søndag har det blitt varmere og snøoverflate antas å være fuktig opp til ca 1000 moh.

Et middels stort skred ble løst ut på vei opp mot Galtåtind på fredag. Snøskredet var sannsynligvis personutløst. Det er usikkert hva skredet løsnet på.

Mountain weather

Sunday 26. February 2023

4 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from west. -8 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 27. February 2023

1-5 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l. Breeze from west. -7 °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 er størst sannsynlighet for å løse ut skred der det kommer nye snøbyger. Vær særlig obs dersom vinden øker på, skredfaren øker raskt i leområder dersom vinden blir sterk nok til å flytte snø. Det er størst sannsynlighet for snøbyger i ytre del av regionen. Nysnøen fra helga vil gradvis stabilisere seg.

Mildvær og muligens litt sol øker sannsynligheten for små våte skred i brattheng under mildværsgrensen.
