Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Wednesday 12.01.2022

Danger level 4 - High avalanche danger

Published:
Very dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended. We expect intense wet slab activity around and below treeline. Wind slabs can be easily triggered in the alpine.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a large truck or destroy several houses (size 4).

Water pooling in/above snow layers

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on many steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Tuesday 11. January 2022

Det ligg mange stadar snø til havnivå, men der et generelt lite snø for årstida. Mykje terreng er berre dekt av det siste snøfallet, spesielt på ryggar og lågareliggande områder. Vind dei siste dagane har gjeve snøtransport til nordvestlege leheng.

Det er observert kantkorn kring eit skarelag i snødekket vest i regionen, men utbreiinga er førebels ukjent. Observasjonen er gjort i eit austvendt heng.

Det er observert mykje store skavlar i regionen.

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

Store nedbørsmengder, kraftig vind og stigande temperatur gjev stor skredfare i alle himmelretningar.

I høgda vil ein få stor pålagring i austlege leområder i starten på dagen. Ut mot ettermiddagen vil nedbøren gå over til regn med plussgrader opp i fjelltopphøgde og ein lyt forvente våte flakskred i alle himmelretningar.

Der snøen ligg ubunden og i låglandet kan ein forvente våte laussnøskred.

EIn lyt òg vere merksam på store skavlar og skalvbrot.
