Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Friday 08.01.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in steep terrain with fresh wind deposited snow or loose powder snow.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Thursday 7. January 2021

Snøoverflaten er preget av kraftig vind i romjulen. Dette har gitt fokksnøflak av varierende hardhet, hovedsakelig bærende flak, men også mykere flak i skjermede formasjoner.
I skogen og i lune formasjoner kan det finnes løs, ubunden snø.
Det er generelt lite snø under tregrensa, spesielt nord og vest i regionen.

Klarvær og stor utstråling fra snødekket har de siste dagene gitt oppbyggende omvandling med overflaterim og kantkorndannelse.

Mountain weather

Thursday 7. January 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -14 °C to -8 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Friday 8. January 2021

Little to no precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southwest. -13 °C to -7 °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

Mulighet for litt ny snø utover dagen kan gi noe økt snøtransport rundt vindutsatte formasjoner. Fortsatt ventes skred å være små.
Vær oppmerksom på at flak også kan legge seg over svakt lag av overflaterim og gjøre det ekstra lett å påvirke.
