Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Thursday 23.12.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here. Be aware, the wind picks up in the evening and the danger will increase.

Avalanche problems

New snow (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).

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)

Wednesday 22. December 2021

Det ligger ca 5-20 cm nysnø/fokksnø i terrenget, mest i leområder mot S og Ø.
Under ligger det et tynt lag av smelteomvandla snø/skare.


Det er lite snø for årstiden. Fortsatt mye stein som stikker opp og rygger er bare.
Under ca. 600 moh er det lite eller ingen såle.

Observasjoner onsdag ved Oppdal forteller om løs ubunden snø over skaren som er tilgjengelig ved vindøkning.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 22. December 2021

1-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 200 m a.s.l during renoon. Calm/light breeze from south. -10 °C to -4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Thursday 23. December 2021

6-10 mm precipitation. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l Thursday night. Fresh breeze from west, changing to fresh breeze from the north during the afternoon. -16 °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

Nysnøen fra de siste dagene kan bli påvirket av vind torsdag ettermiddag/kveld. Det kan derfor raskt dannes nysnøflak som kan være ustabile. Det er lite snø å flytte på så skreproblemet er fortsatt begrenset til noen få heng.
