Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Friday 08.03.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with wind slabs at higher elevations. Be aware that persistent weak layers can be hidden in the snow pack.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2). Remote triggering is possible.

Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface

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)

Friday 8. March 2024

Snøoverflaten varierer slik den ofte gjør på våren. I lavere høydenivå og i solvendt bratt terreng er overflaten omvandlet og våt. I skyggerikt terreng i høyden består overflaten fortsatt av gammel fokksnø.
Over ca 1100 moh er snødekket tørt.
Våt overflate fryser til hard skare på natten og smelter utover dagen når temperaturen øker.

Det finnes plasser med et lag av nedføyket kantkorn under eldre harde fokksnøflak. Det er litt usikkert hvor aktivt dette svake laget er, men det kan ikke utelukkes at det er mulig å påvirke fortsatt.

Mountain weather

Thursday 7. March 2024

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southwest. -15 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Friday 8. March 2024

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -16 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Oppdatering: Overskyet vær gjør at skredfaren holder seg lavere. Dersom solen kommer frem og varmer snøen kan skredfaren øke i sørvendt terreng.

Vær obs på at det fortsatt finnes et vedvarende svakt lag under hard fokksnø i nordvendt terreng i høyden. Det er størst sjanse for å påvirke dette der snødekket er tynt.
