Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Thursday 10.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Naturally released wet avalanches may occur due to rising temperatures and rain. Use caution in steep terrain with wind slabs.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

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

Loose snow

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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)

Wednesday 9. March 2022

Mildvær og kraftig vind forrige helg har dannet skare opp til ca. 600 moh. Snøgrensen ved fjorden har trukket seg opp til ca. 100 moh. Over mildværsgrensen er det bærende fokksnø med myk snø i skjermede formasjoner. Solen har tatt i bratte formasjoner mot sør og vest og dannet solskare.

Mildvær forrige helg, fulgt av nysnø og kalde klare netter gir tradisjonelt gode forhold for dannelse av kantkorn. Meldinger fra observatører tilsier at det ikke er aktive kantkornlag ennå. Vær oppmerksom på drønn og skytende sprekker i snødekket.

Mountain weather

Thursday 10. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Moderate gale from south, changing to strong breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -8 °C to -1 °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

Under mildværsgrensen er det fare for naturlig utløste våte skred i bratte heng. I noen heng kan det være lett å løse ut skred i den siste fokksnøen, tørre flakskred over og våte flakskred under mildværsgrensen.
