Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Saturday 29.05.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published: 2021-05-28 03:40 PM

Be careful on steep slopes with soft and wet snow, a skier can trigger avalanches here, or they can release when the temperature increases. At high altitudes, naturally released avalanches can occur due to increased temperatures and a persistent weak layer of facets.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (slab avalanches)

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

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Snøoverflaten kan fryse til i løpet av natten, men er generelt våt og smelteomvandlet opp til fjelltopphøyde. På tynt snødekke er hele snøpakken smelteomvandlet.

På tykt snødekke og i skyggesider i høyden finnes fortsatt lagdelt snø med vedvarende svake lag, men etter lenger tid med mildvær er lagene nå i ferd med å bli smelteomvandlet.

Sist uke har varmt vær og fravær av nattefrost gitt mye snøsmelting i fjellet. Snøgrensen kryper oppover og ligger nå på omlag 600 moh. Den er lavest i nordvendt terreng.
