Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Tuesday 15.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited 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)

Monday 14. December 2020

Snødekket er generelt tynt og snøoverflaten varierer mellom å være hard og isete eller litt mykere med overflatekantkorn.

Kaldt og tørt vær har den siste tiden gitt gode forhold for utvikling av overflatekantkorn på det gamle snødekket, noe som gir en mykere overflate mange steder.

Mountain weather

Monday 14. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Gale from south. -8 °C to -3 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Tuesday 15. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from south. -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

I høyden vil det kunne finnes noen ferske fokksnøflak etter mandagens kraftige vind. Mest utsatt er terreng som samler snø mot nord. Ellers mye hard snøoverflate og generelt stabile forhold.
