Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Monday 06.02.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs, while persistent weak layers deeper in the snow in general is hard to trigger.

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 5. February 2023

Lørdagen var det mulig å finne myk snø i skjermede formasjoner. Søndag kom det noe nysnø sammen med vind. Denne er nå generelt vindpåvirket, men kan fortsatt være myk i skjermede formasjoner.
Det er generelt mindre snø enn vanlig i regionen, særlig på rygger og vindutsatte steder.

Det har vært stor temperaturgradient høyt i snødekket onsdag til fredag sist uke og rimkrystaller har vært observert i snøoverflaten. Ny snø kan stedvis ha lagt seg oppå disse.

Mountain weather

Monday 6. February 2023

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

Økende vind utover dagen vil danne ferske fokksnøflak i leheng mot øst og nord. Stedvis kan disse være lette å løse ut. Fokksnøflak fra i går vil trenge noe tid til stabilisering.
Noen steder kan fokksnøen ligge på et svakt lag av kantkorn eller overflaterim. Her vil det være spesielt lett å løse ut skred. Det er stor usikkerhet rundt utbredelsen av dette laget.
