Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Monday 14.12.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but wind slabs can be present in isolated features.

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)

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)

Sunday 13. 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.

Mountain weather

Sunday 13. December 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from south, changing to strong breeze from the south during the evening. -8 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 14. December 2020

Little to no precipitation. Gale from south. -8 °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

I høyden vil kraftig vind kunne gi noen mindre, ferske fokksnøflak som lett kan løses ut av skiløpere. Problemet er mest aktuelt i utsatte terrengformasjoner som bak rygger og inngang til renner.
Vær oppmerksom i overgangen mellom harde og myke flak og husk at selv små skred på isete overflate, eller tynt snødekke kan medføre alvorlige konsekvenser på grunn av oppstikkende stein.
