Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Friday 20.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable avalanche conditions. Use caution in areas with wind deposited snow and cornices and where the sun makes the snow surface wet and soft.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Loose 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 19. May 2022

I nordvendte heng over 1000 moh kan det fortsatt ligge tørr og lagdelt snø. Ellers er snødekket stort sett smelteomvandlet og stabilt.
Det er fortsatt mye snø i fjellet. Snøgrensa stiger gradvis og nærmer seg tregrensa, høyest i sørvendte heng.

Det ble observert flere små og middels store skred de siste dagene. Mest i sammenheng med skavlbrudd. Mer skredaktivitet observert i Sunndal enn i Oppdal på onsdag

Mountain weather

Thursday 19. May 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast. -1 °C to 8 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 20. May 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from southeast, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the afternoon. -6 °C to 8 °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

Snødekket ventes å være stort sett stabilt nå. I bratt terreng med våt, løs snø er det mulig å løse ut løssnøskred. I solvendte sider kan små skred løsne av seg selv når sola står på. Vær varsom i nærheten av terrengfeller.

Hold god avstand til alle skavler som svekkes i varmen.
Glideskred er uforutsigbare, men kan forekomme der det er forhold for det, for eksempel der underlaget er svaberg eller bratt gressbakke. Unngå terreng under glidesprekker.
