Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Tuesday 24.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Warm daytime-temperatures give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Loose 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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Monday 23. May 2022

I nordvendte heng over 1000 moh ligg det framleis turr og lagdelt snø. Elles er snødekket stort sett smelteomvandla og stabilt.
Det er framleis mykje snø i fjellet. Snøgrensa stig gradvis og mot tregrensa, høgast i sørvendt terreng.

Det ble observert flere små og middels store skred de siste dagene. Mest i sammenheng med skavlbrudd. Mer skredaktivitet observert i Sunndal enn i Oppdal på onsdag

Fredag er det varmt og det vert meldt om meget våt og laus snø i Oppdal.

Mountain weather

Monday 23. May 2022

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast. 1 °C to 7 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 24. May 2022

1-5 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Strong breeze from southeast. 1 °C to 6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Høge temperaturar og litt regn gjer at snøoverflata framleis vil vere mjuk og laus, og det vil vere mogeleg å løyse ut våte skred i bratt terreng. Skavlar vert også svekka i varmen.
Glideskred kan løysne av seg sjølv heile døgnet. Unngå opphald under glidsprekker.
