Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Thursday 17.03.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Wednesday 16. March 2022

Snøoverflata er jamt påverka av sol og vind. Solvendte heng har vorte fuktige utover dagen opp til ca 1200 moh. Klårvêr og utstråling har gitt nattefrost og skare tidleg på dag.

I fjellet er fokksnøen hard og jamt over vindpåverka. Vind har dempa soloppvarminga og snødekket er relativt tørt.

Det er generelt mykje snø i alle himmelretningar, men noko meir avblese i vestvendt terreng.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 16. March 2022

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from south. -9 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 17. March 2022

0-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l Thursday night. Strong breeze from south, changing to gale from the south during renoon. -7 °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

Kraftig vind i fjellet, men lite snø å flytte på. Ein kan forvente at det legg seg opp mindre fokksnøflak i hovedsakleg nordvendte heng.

Relativt høge temperaturar om våren gjev fare for glideskred. Ver spesielt merksam i sørvendte heng der det ligg mykje snø på sva. Unngå områder under glidesprekkar.
