Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Wednesday 25.05.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here. Keep distance to cornices and areas with glide-cracks.

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)

Tuesday 24. May 2022

I nordvendte heng over 1000 moh ligger det fortsatt tørr og lagdelt snø. Ellers er snødekket stort sett smelteomvandlet og stabilt.
Det er fortsatt mye snø i fjellet. Snøgrensa stiger gradvis opp mot tregrensa, og er høyest i sørvendt terreng.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 24. May 2022

1-5 mm precipitation. Precipitation as rain. Strong breeze from southeast. 1 °C to 6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Wednesday 25. May 2022

2-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1800 m a.s.l Wednesday night. Fresh breeze from south, changing to breeze from the southwest during the evening. 0 °C to 6 °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

Mildvær og litt regn gjør at snøoverflaten fremdeles vil være myk og løs, og det vil være mulig å løse ut våte skred i bratt terreng. Skavler svekkes i varmen.
Glideskred kan løsne av seg selv hele døgnet. Unngå terreng under glidesprekker.
