Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Friday 18.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Thursday 17. March 2022

Snødekket er prega av hard vind, varme dagar og kalde netter. Bratt solvendt terreng har solskare. Slakare terreng og nordvendte sider har hard slett fokksnø eller småskavlar. Snøoverflata vert gradvis mjukare under 850 moh og nedover.

Det er generelt mykje snø i alle himmelretningar, men noko meir avblese i vestvendt terreng.

Det er observert fleire glidesprekkar i bratt terreng siste dagane.

Mountain weather

0-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l Thursday night. Strong breeze from south, changing to gale from the south during renoon. -7 °C to -1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 18. March 2022

4-8 mm precipitation. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from west, changing to moderate gale from the southwest during the evening. -8 °C to -2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Det ligg mindre fokksnøflak som er lette å løyse ut i nordlege, austlege og vestlege himmelretningar. Dei ferskaste flaka vil ein finne i austlege heng grunna kraftig vind frå vest.

Relativt høge temperaturar om våren gjev fare for glideskred. Ver spesielt merksam i sørvendte heng der det ligg mykje snø på sva. Unngå områder under glidesprekkar.
