Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Monday 30.03.2020

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in and close to terrain traps and on steep slopes until the new snow has stabilized.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Sunday 29. March 2020

Mykje nysnø og sterk vind frå nordvest siste døgnet har gjeve snøtransport inn i søraustlege heng. Stadvis kan flak ligge på glatt skare danna av mildvêret førre veke.

Eldre snøpakke er prega av fleire omgangar med mildvêr i vinter og er stort sett grovkorna.


Mountain weather

Sunday 29. March 2020

15 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Strong breeze from northwest. -13 °C to -7 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Monday 30. March 2020

3-7 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the west during renoon. -12 °C to -5 °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

Det ligg fokksnøflak i søraustlege lesider som treng tid på å stabilisere seg. Stadvis kan desse ligge på glatt skare og soleis lette å løyse ut.

I bratte sørvendte fjellsider kan ein forvente våte laussnøskred når sola byrjar å varme snødekket.

Ein lyt vere merksam på at det er store skavlar i aust og nordvendte fjellsider.
