Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Saturday 20.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avlanches where the snow gets very wet in the sun. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Friday 19. May 2023

Snøgrensa varierer i regionen og er høgast i sørvendte hellingar og lengst ut mot kysten. Det er i hovudsak grovkorna smelteomvandla snø, men enkelte stadar kan snøen som kom rundt 17.mai vere finkorna. Snøoverflata frys om natta, og blir fuktig eller våt på dagen.

Mountain weather

Friday 19. May 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from south, changing to breeze from the southwest during the afternoon. -1 °C to 6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 20. May 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. 0 °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

Mindre laussnøskred kan løysast ut der snøen som kom rundt 17. mai blir våt i sola. Skavlbrot og glideskred kan også forekomme, men generelt er det eit stabilt vårleg snødekke.
