Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Monday 31.01.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. Be aware of areas with unstable wind slabs, especially close to terrain traps.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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)

Sunday 30. January 2022

Søndag ligger det ligger mye nysnø/fersk fokksnø i terrenget over tregrensa, særlig i leheng mot S og Ø.

Lørdag var det kraftig regnvær høyt til fjells, en periode regnet det til ca 1000 moh før temperaturen sank og nedbøren gikk over til snø.

Snømengdene varierer i regionen. I høyden er snømengdene store, særlig i leområder mot S og Ø. Pga svært kraftig vind de siste dagene vil snøen være ujevnt fordelt i terrenget. Det er fortsatt lite snø i lavlandet.

Mountain weather

Sunday 30. January 2022

20 mm precipitation, up to 35 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l Sunday night. Gale from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -11 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 31. January 2022

2-5 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -18 °C to -9 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Fokksnøen fra søndag vil trolig ha stabilisert seg de fleste steder, men i enkelte leheng over tregrensa kan det fortsatt være mulig å løse ut skred for en skiløper.

Litt nysnø om kvelden vil ikke påvirke skredfaren i særlig grad, kun enkelte små leheng vil samle ferske fokksnøflak.
