Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Friday 10.01.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab 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)

Thursday 9. January 2020

Det er varierande snødekke. Kraftig vind og snø har har lagt opp store fonner med fokksnø i leområder. Ryggar og ope terreng er blåst ned til gammalt snødekke. Snøen ligg ujamnt fordelt i austvendt terreng.

Tidlegare observerte svake lag av kantkorn er dekt av bærande lag også på dei høgaste toppane, så dei er lite aktuelle som skredproblem.

Torsdag har det lagt seg tildels mykje nysnø over regionen.

Mountain weather

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

Rolige vindforhold og kaldare luft gir den ferskaste fokksnøen tid til stabilisering. Eldre fokksnø har stabilisert seg mykje etter gunstige temperaturar siste døgna. Vindauke mot kvelden vil flytte snø og fornye skredproblemet med fersk fokksnø i leomåder.
