Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Saturday 01.01.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
The danger increases when the wind picks up. Avoid areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies.

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.

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

Vindauke om ettermiddagen vil føre til pålagring av fersk fokksnø i leheng i dei områda der det finst laussnø i terrenget som kan flyttast på.

Vind frå mange forskjellege retningar dei siste dagane gjer at det no kan vere fokksnø i dei fleste himmelretningar. Høge temperaturar gjer at fokksnøen vil stabilisere seg fort, men det kan framleis vere mogeleg å løyse ut skred i fokksnø som har blitt danna dei siste dagane.
