Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Thursday 30.05.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Some new snow, but generally stable conditions. Wind slabs in isolated areas are possible.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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

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 29. May 2019

Den gjenværende vintersnøen er smelteomvandlet og drenerer smeltevann godt. I nord- og østvendte terrengformasjoner ligger snøgrensen lavere enn i sør- og vestvendte, der det knapt er skiføre og snø igjen. De siste par dagene har det kommet noen cm nysnø i høyden.

Natt til onsdag 29.05 ble det målt -10 grader ved Storhornet i Oppdal, 1550 moh.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 29. May 2019

2-4 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from west. -7 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 30. May 2019

7 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from southwest. -6 °C to 0 °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

Nedbør i form av snø med vind fra sørvest vil øke omfanget på ansamlinger av nysnøflak i leområder. Nysnøen må betraktes som ustabil, men skred vil i hovedsak ikke overstige str. 1, små skred. Det gamle snødekket vurderes som stabilt uten lagdeling med god evne til å drenere vann.
