Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Wednesday 31.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Rain and some snow high up give increased danger of wet avalanches. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously 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

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can 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)

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)

Tuesday 30. May 2023

De siste dagene er det kommet noe nysnø høyt til fjells. Gammelt snødekke er smelteomvandlet, grovkornet og fuktig eller våt. Varmt vær og regn har tært 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

Tuesday 30. May 2023

1 mm precipitation, up to 6 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from west, changing to strong breeze from the west during the afternoon. -2 °C to 10 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 31. May 2023

6 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1600 m a.s.l Wednesday night. Moderate gale from northwest, changing to fresh breeze from the northwest during the afternoon. -2 °C to 4 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. 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

Onsdag vil det være bygenedbør. Der det kommer mest nedbør kan det gå enkelte våte løssnøskred. De fleste skred blir trolig små, men ved skavlbrudd eller glideskred kan enkelte skred bli middels store.

Utover dagen synker snøgrensen og det kan dannes enkelte fokksnøflak som kan påvirkes, men disse stabiliseres sannysnligvis relativt fort.
