Avalanche warning for region Nord-Trøndelag Monday 05.04.2021

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Large and unstable storm slabs, avoid avalanche terrain. Skier triggered large avalances likely. Naturally released large avalanches possible.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of new 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.

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

Skredfaren ventes å avta til 3- betydelig, men ustabil fokksnø trenger tid til å stabilisere seg.
Det er lett for en skiløper å løse ut skred i den ferske fokksnøen og enkelte naturlig utløste store skred kan fortsatt forekomme.
