Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Sunday 28.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Some places it might be possibe to release small avalanches in the new snow in the alpine.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Saturday 27. May 2023

Fredag kom det noe nysnø i regionen, men lørdag ble denne våt eller fuktig av regn igjen. Eldre snø er smelteomvandlet, grovkornet og fuktig eller våt. Varmt vær og regn har tæret på snødekket. Det er generelt bart under 800 moh, men snøgrensen kan variere.

Kjøligere vær kan føre til at snøoverflaten fryser til skare mange steder. I høyden kan det ligge nysnø.

Onsdag ble det observert noen str. 1 løssnøskred i nysnøen fra tirsdag.

Mountain weather

Saturday 27. May 2023

4-7 mm precipitation. Rain up to 1600 m a.s.l during renoon. Strong breeze from southwest, changing to moderate gale from the southwest during the afternoon. -1 °C to 6 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 28. May 2023

6 mm precipitation, up to 12 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 900 m a.s.l Sunday night. Moderate gale from west, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the evening. -6 °C to 1 °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

Synkende temperaturer utover dagen i kombinasjon med snøbyger og mye vind vil kunne gi fokksnøflak i fjellet. Dersom solen titter frem på ettermiddagen kan snøskred løsne naturlig. I enkelte leheng som har fått mest snø de siste dagene kan det løsne middels store skred, men stort sett er flakene små og fokksnøen stabiliserer seg nokså raskt i de relativt milde temperaturene.

Der det fortsatt er igjen skavler kan det være fare for skavlbrudd.
