Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Thursday 30.12.2021

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Late afternooen - Wet avalanches are likely at lower elevations. Use great caution on recently loaded slopes in the alpine.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

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).

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.

Avalanche risk assessment

Det blir en endring til mildere vær mot kvelden. Skredfaren endres mest i lavlandet, her er det fare for mindre våte skred. Regn og stigende temperaturer svekker snødekket.

I høyfjellet vil kraftig vind flytte på den løse snøen og danne ustabile fokksnøflak. Vær svært varsom i områder med fersk fokksnø.
