Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Friday 15.03.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs, while persistent weak layers deeper in the snow in general is hard to trigger.

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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2). Remote triggering is possible.

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 14. March 2024

Litt fersk fokksnø i leområder i høgda. Den eldre snøen er ellers hard og bærande dei fleste stader. Mykje av det er smelteomdanna og grovkorna, men i høgda meir finkorna og lagdelt. Enkelte stader er det sigesprekker i snødekket.

Kantkornlag er tilstades i snødekket. Det er også små områder med overflatekantkorn med mindre flak av fokksnø over. Gjeldande på dei høgaste toppane.

Mountain weather

Thursday 14. March 2024

5 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 900 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Moderate gale from southwest, changing to strong breeze from the west during the evening. -5 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 15. March 2024

10 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 700 m a.s.l Friday night. Breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northeast during the afternoon. -5 °C to -1 °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

Snø og vind gir skredproblem med ferske fokksnøflak i leområder.

Ved dei høgaste toppane har kantkorn fått danna seg i overflata, og er no enkelte stader føyka ned av fokksnø frå dei siste par dagane.
Kantkornlag kan være forholdsvis svakare og vil gjere det lettare å løyse ut skred i fokksnøen.
Vær derfor varsom her, sprekker og drønn i snøen er tydelige teikn.

Lågare i fjellet vil fokksnøen stabilisere seg raskare.

Ved sigesprekker er det tilhøve for glideskred.
