Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Thursday 04.04.2019

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 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)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow

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)

Wednesday 3. April 2019

Det ligg faste fokksnøflak i leområder etter snøværet sist helg. Det ligg litt laus snø tilgjengeleg for vind i skjerma formasjonar i høgda. Den eldre snøen er i hovudsak varmepåvirka og stabilisert. Ryggar og toppar er avblåst.

Det er kantkorn i snødekket i høgda, men det er ikkje eit aktivt skredproblem.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 3. April 2019

No precipitation. Strong breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the northeast during the afternoon. -8 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 4. April 2019

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from east. -6 °C to -1 °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

Varme stabiliserer fokksnøen og skredfaretendensen er synkande. Enkelte fokksnøflak i høgda kan bli påvirka av skiløpar. Delvis klarvær gir nedkjøling og gjenfrysing av snødekket på natta og tidlig på dagen. Aukande varme og sol utpå dagen kan svekke snødekket og gi våte skred i svært bratt terreng. Ved sigesprekker er det forhold for glideskred.
