Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Sunday 21.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avlanches in steep terrain where the snow are very wet. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

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 20. May 2023

Snøgrensa varierer i regionen og er høgast i sørvendte hellingar og lengst ut mot kysten. Stadvis er det snø ned til 400 moh. Det er i hovudsak fuktig eller våt grovkorna, smelteomvandla snø. Om det blir klart om natta vil det vere skare frå morgonen som vil tine utover dagen.

Eldre svake lag har i hovudsak smelta, men det kan vere restar av islag.

Torsdag gjekk det nokre skred i snøen som kom rundt 17. mai då det vart sol og varmare.

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 generelt stabile tilhøve. Enkelte stadar kan det vere mogleg å løyse ut små våte laussnøskred i bratt terreng. Det gjeld særleg om det blir sol på ettermiddagen. Skavlbrot og glideskred kan førekomme.
