Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Wednesday 06.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Naturally released loose avalanches can occur in steep sun exposed faces. Be careful in areas with wind deposited snow.

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 easily trigger avalanches on a few 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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Wednesday 6. April 2022

Det har stadvis kome mykje nedbør i bygene dei siste dagane. Liten kuling tysdag har gitt mykje snøtransport til søraustlege leheng. Den eldre snøpakken var generelt hard i høgda, mens den var langt mjukare i lågare og lunt terreng.

Det er framleis mykje snø i fjellet og snøgrensa er til havnivå.

I naboregionen Romsdal er det observert byrjande kanting kring mildvêrskaren mellom gamal og ny snø. Primært over 800 moh. Dette er førebels ikkje eit skredproblem, men ein lyt vere merksam på utviklinga.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 5. April 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from northwest, changing to strong breeze from the northwest during renoon. -13 °C to -9 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 6. April 2022

2-5 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from west. -16 °C to -7 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

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

I bratte sørvendte heng kan det gå naturlig utløste våte skred og flakskred dersom solen kommer frem. Unngå soleksponerte bratte heng og utløpsområder under.

Det ligger ferske fokksnøflak i leheng mot sørøst etter vind og nedbør på mandag og tirsdag. Noen steder kan flak ligge på svake lag av kantkorn og være lette å løse ut.
