Avalanche warning for region Trollheimen Saturday 23.03.2024

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with wind deposited snow. Wind slabs may rest on persistent weak layer. Beware of danger signs like shooting cracks and whumpf-sounds.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (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 faceted snow near surface

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)

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 22. March 2024

Det har vært svært lite nedbør siste måneden. Under 1000moh er det stort sett skare eller hard vindpåvirket snø. Det finnes litt tørr fokksnø i leområder i høyden.

I lavlandet er det lite snø etter mye mildvær i det siste.

Det finnes kantkornlag i snødekket, enkelte steder med nedsnødd overflatekantkorn under fokksnø i tillegg til et svakt lag dypere i snødekket. Problemet er sannsynligvis bare aktuelt i enkelte områder på de høyeste toppene.

Det meldes at det er vanskelig å påvirke kantkornlag under fokksnøen torsdag.

Mountain weather

Friday 22. March 2024

2-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l Friday night. Fresh breeze from southwest. -8 °C to 0 °C at 1400 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Saturday 23. March 2024

Little to no precipitation. Fresh breeze from south, changing to breeze from the northeast during renoon. -9 °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

Det er enkelte fokksnøflak som kan løses ut og der de ligger på kantkorn kan skred bli middels store. Små skred kan løses ut der det er fersk fokksnø. Det har vært svært lite nedbør den siste måneden og snødekket er stort sett hardt og stabilt. Utglidningsfaren på hardt underlag er verdt å huske på når en ferdes i fjellet nå. Der sola får tak kan det gå små våte skred.
