Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Saturday 15.04.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
At higher elevations small wind slabs might still be possible to trigge where they are resting on weak snow created in the Easter dry spell.

Where precipitation comes as rain, wet loose avalanches are possible.

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

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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 14. April 2023

Snødekket varierer mye med høyde og himmelretning. Solen har nå tatt godt i mange heng og i sørsider er snødekket omdannet eller smeltet bort selv høyt til fjells.
I nordsider og slakere terreng i fjellet er snødekket tørt, og består av fokksnøflak av varierende hardhet. Noen steder er det avblåst til gammel skare.

Klart og kaldt vær i hele april har gitt kantkorndanning i overflaten. Det finnes også kantkorn dypt i snødekket under hard og bærende fokksnø, som ikke påvirker skredfaren per nå..

Mountain weather

Friday 14. April 2023

0 mm precipitation, up to 7 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l. Moderate gale from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast. -4 °C to 1 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 15. April 2023

2 mm precipitation, up to 9 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from southeast. -4 °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

Fokksnø fra de siste dagene kan ligge på svake lang av kantkorn som ble dannet i det kalde, klare værer den siste tiden. Disse flakene kan da fortsatt være lett å løse ut., men problemet har trolig liten utbredelse.

Under mildværsgrensa, der snøoverflaten er våt, vil det være lett å løse ut løssnøskred i for en skiløper.

Ved høye temperaturer om våren øker faren for glideskred og skavlbrudd. Vær forsiktig ved skavler og under glidesprekker.
