Avalanche warning for region Sør-Trøndelag Tuesday 12.04.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid leeward slopes if you notice danger signs like shooting cracks and whumpf-sounds. Wind deposited snow are covering persistent weak layer.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (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). Remote triggering is possible.

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

Det er meldt lite nedbør og vind, faren for naturlig utløste skred er liten.

Vær oppmerksom på at en enkelt skiløper fortsatt kan løse ut skred i fjellet.

Varselet er basert på et enklere datagrunnlag enn regionale varsler og utgis kun for faregrad 4 og 5.
