Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Monday 03.01.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Naturally released loose avalanches can occur in steep terrainin the lower areas. Highest avlanche danger in the western part of the region.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of new 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.

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

Sterk vind og litt nysnø kombinert med snøen som falt søndag vil føre til at det dannar seg ferske fokksnøflak i fjellet. Høge temperaturar gjer at fokksnøen vil stabilisere seg fort, men det kan framleis vere mogeleg å løyse ut skred i fokksnø som har blitt danna dei siste dagane. Der det regnar på snødekket kan skred løysne naturleg.
