Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Saturday 26.03.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
At higher altitudes avoid areas with wind-deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Keep distance to areas with gliding cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Glide avalanches

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some 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)

Friday 25. March 2022

Mildvær og regn opp til ca 1100-1300moh det siste døgnet har gitt varmt og vått snødekke. Observasjoner tyder på at snødekket drenerer godt og det meldes kun om våte løssnøskred fra området.
Utover fredagen vil temperaturen avta og gradvis stabilisere det gamle snødekket. Det finnes ferske fokksnøflak i østlige lesider over mildværsgrensen.
Det er fortsatt mye snø i fjellet, men stedvis avblåst i vestvendte heng. Snøgrensa er på ca 200 moh.

Det er observert flere glideskred og små våte løssnøskred i Sunndalen torsdag.

Mountain weather

Friday 25. March 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1200 m a.s.l Friday night. Gale from west. -9 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 26. March 2022

6-8 mm precipitation. Rain up to 100 m a.s.l. Moderate gale from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -9 °C to -3 °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

Vind og snøbyger gir ferske fokksnøflak i fjellsider vendt mot Ø til S. Roligere vær utover dagen gir fokksnøen tid til å utvikle bindinger til underlaget og stabilsering.
Det er fortsatt fare for glideskred i alle himmelretnigner. Dette vil gjelde noen dager frem til vannmetningen i snødekket avtar. Unngå områder under glidesprekker.
