Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Tuesday 14.01.2020

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, 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)

Monday 13. January 2020

Kraftig vind og snø har har lagt opp store mengder vindtransportert snø i Ø og NØ vendte leområder.
Rygger og utsatt terreng er blåst ned til gammelt snødekke.
Gammelt snødekke består av harde smelteformer og kantkornformer i tynnere snødekke i høyden.

Vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn er dekket av bærende lag også på de høyeste toppene, der er derfor lite aktuelle som skredproblem.

Lørdag er det observert snøfokk i høyden.

Mountain weather

Monday 13. January 2020

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

Kraftig vind gir skredproblem med fokksnøflak i leområder.

Mest utsatt er leområder mot N og NØ hvor det dannes ferske fokksnøflak, her vil det være mulig å løse ut flakskred.
