Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Sunday 12.02.2023

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Heavy precipitation as rain may cause wet avalanches in steep terrain in the northwestern part of the region. Dry slab svalanches can be possible to trigger in wind slabs in the mountains in the southern part of the region.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

Loose snow

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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 12. February 2023

Frem til lørdag morgen var det kommet 20-30 cm nysnø flere steder også i lavereliggende områder. Den siste snøen kom med lite vind, men likefullt kan det antas at det ligger en del vindtransportert snø i fjellet.

Et middels stort skred ble løst ut kontrollert av tråkkemaskinen ved skisenteret i Oppdal fredag.

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

Oppdatert søndag morgen:

Nye nedbørprognoser med mer nedbør som regn nordvest i regionen gjør at vi venter at det kan løsne middels store, våte skred av seg selv i noen heng i denne delen av regionen.

Høyt til fjells kan det være mulig for en skikjører å løse ut skred i fokksnøen. Det gjelder særlig i fjellene sør i regionen der det holder seg kaldt også på søndag.

Når nysnøen fuktes opp av regn og mildvær venter vi at det kan gå enkelte naturlig utløste våte skred.
