Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Wednesday 29.12.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Use caution on recently loaded slopes in the alpine. Large avalanches could be triggered. A fair amount of loose snow gives good skiing conditions in sheltered areas.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

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)

Tuesday 28. December 2021

Kraftig vind mandag kveld/natt har ommøblert snøoverflaten, særlig i indre strøk.

Det ligger mye løs snø i terrenget etter snøbyger fra nordvest i flere dager. Det gamle snødekket er i stor grad smelteomdanna og gjenfrosset etter mildvær opp til ca 1500 moh 19. desember. Det er lite såle under 600 moh.

Mandag er det observert naturlig utløste flakskred i regionen.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 28. December 2021

Wednesday 29. December 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. -15 °C to -5 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Fokksnøen fra mandag kveld har trolig stabilisert seg. Det vil være vanskelig å løse ut skred, men eventuelle skred kan fortsatt bli store.

Områder i ly for vinden har svært gode skiforhold. Men vær oppmerksom på raske endringer.
