Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Thursday 18.04.2019

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches 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)

Wednesday 17. April 2019

Snødekket er generelt kaldt og igjenfryst. Tørr luft, stor utstråling nattestid og kulde har gitt lite fuktigheit i snødekket. I bratte sørvendte fjellsider har sola fått litt tak, men kun øvst i snødekket.

I skyggevendt terreng over 900 moh finn ein framleis finkorna snø, enkelte stadar òg under skaren i høgda.

Det har lokalt vore observert noko kantkornutvikling høgt i snødekket grunna låga nattetemperaturar, men påvirkar skredfaren i liten grad. Det finst òg kantkorn djupare i snødekket høgt til fjells.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 17. April 2019

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -6 °C to 2 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Thursday 18. April 2019

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -5 °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

Stigande temperatur vil svekke bindingar i snødekket og ein kan forvente fleire våte laussnøskred i alle himmelretningar, spesielt i sørvendte fjellsider.

Glideskred kan førekomme på bratte og glatte fjellsider. Hald avstand om det er glidesprekkar.

Ver merksam på faren for skavlbrot på toppar og ryggar.
