Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Tuesday 01.02.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of fresh wind slabs, typically behind ridges, in ribs and gullies.

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)

Monday 31. January 2022

Mandag er snøoverflaten svært variert etter mye vær. Nysnø som er flyttet av vind ligger som fokksnø av ulik hardhet, der vinden ikke har tatt er det mye løs snø, og vindutsatte formasjoner er avblåst til skare eller barmark.

Snømengdene varierer i regionen. I høyden er snømengdene store, særlig i leområder mot S og Ø. Det er fortsatt lite snø i lavlandet.

Mildværet lørdag gikk opp til ca 900 moh i Oppdalsområdet. 8 cm nysnø i Sunndalen mandag.

Mountain weather

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.

Tuesday 1. February 2022

4 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the northwest during the evening. -15 °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

Der vinden blir sterk nok til å flytte snø vil det dannes ferske ustabile fokksnøflak i leområder. Her kan det være lett å løse ut skred.
Fokksnøen fra søndag vil trolig ha stabilsert seg.
