Avalanche warning for region Romsdal Monday 29.05.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Monday brings warm weather and rain. Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here, and a few natural released avalanches can occur. In the alpine there can be unstable wind slabs. Keep distance to cornices.

Avalanche problems

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).

Loose snow

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches 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)

Sunday 28. May 2023

I høyfjellet i indre strøk av regionen var det fredag kommet 20-40cm snø. Eldre snø er smelteomvandlet, grovkornet og fuktig eller våt. Varmt vær har tæret på det gamle snødekket. Det er generelt bart under 700 moh, men snøgrensen kan variere. Snøgrensen var før siste snøfall lavest i skyggesider, i noen nordvendte sider ned til 400 moh.

Eldre svake lag er i hovedsak smeltet vekk, men det kan være rester av islag i snøen.

Mountain weather

Sunday 28. May 2023

6 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 900 m a.s.l Sunday night. Moderate gale from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -6 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 29. May 2023

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

Mandag blir det mildt og mye nedbør, dette øker faren for våte skred. Enkelte middels store naturlig utløste skred kan forekomme.

Over mildværsgrensa kan det dannes fokksnøflak, men disse stabiliseres raskt i de relativt milde temperaturene.

Der det fortsatt er igjen skavler kan det være fare for skavlbrudd.
