Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Sunday 06.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few 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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Saturday 5. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt hardt og isete opp til tregrensen. Over tregrensen har vind fra sørøst tatt godt de siste dagene. Rygger og utsatte områder er delvis avblåst. Myk snø finnes kun i skjermede formasjoner slik som bak rygger og ved inngangen til renner og lignende.

Lørdag morgen var det -1,5 grader og 2 m/s skiftende vind på målestasjonen ved Oppdal - Sæter (604 moh).

Mountain weather

Saturday 5. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -13 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 6. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from south. -9 °C to -3 °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

I noen få bratte leheng og skjermede formasjoner er det fremdeles mulig å løse ut middels store skred i fokksnøen. Relativt rolige forhold lar fokksnøflakene stabilisere seg og det skal nå generelt stor tilleggsbelastning til, slik som en gruppe skikjørere. Husk at i utsatt terreng kan også små skred være farlig.
