Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Monday 10.01.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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 9. January 2022

Det ligg mange stadar snø til havnivå, men der et generelt lite snø for årstida. Mykje terreng er berre dekt av det siste snøfallet, spesielt på ryggar og lågareliggande områder. Vind det siste døgnet har gjeve snøtransport til nordvestlege legheng. I skoggrensa og i nokre skjerma formasjonar kan ein framleis finne ubunden snø.

Det er observert kantkorn kring eit skarelag i snødekket vest i regionen, men utbreiinga er førebels ukjent. Observasjonen er gjort i eit austvendt heng.

Observatør i Oppdal meldte fredag om skytande sprekkar og drønn i fersk vindtransportert snø.

Det er observert mykje store skavlar i regionen.

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

Pågåande sterk vind har lagt opp fokksnøflak i nord- og vestlege leområder. Eldre flak har gradvis stabilisert seg, men treng litt meir tid i høgda.

EIn lyt òg vere merksam på store skavlar og skalvbrot.
