Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Wednesday 02.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs, while persistent weak layers deeper in the snow in general is hard to trigger.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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 1. March 2022

Det er kommet mye snø den siste tiden. Kraftig vind har bundet snøen til flak over tregrensen. I skjermede formasjoner kan det fortsatt finnes løs snø.
Det er nå generelt mye snø for årstiden i regionen, særlig i øst- og nordvendte leområder.

Det er lokalt observert begynnende kantkorn i snødekket.

Vær obs på at det mange steder nå er store skavler i fjellet.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 1. March 2022

6-10 mm precipitation. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l Tuesday night. Strong breeze from south, changing to moderate gale from the southwest during renoon. -8 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 2. March 2022

12-16 mm precipitation. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l Wednesday night. Gale from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -8 °C to -4 °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 høyden vil snø og fortsatt sterk vind gi ferske flakdannelser. Her vil det være lett å løse ut skred. Enkelte skred kan bli store. På ettermiddagen løyer vinden og stabilisering skjer gradvis. Vær fortsatt likevel oppmerksom ved inngangen til leområder, der snødekket er tynt eller mykt.

Det er store skavler i fjellet. Dersom de brekker kan de løse ut skred der de lander.
