Snow report Northern Norway, 04/24/2016

Snow condition

You can still drive down into the high valleys of Trollheimen to the parking lot. The granite and gneiss sharks are slowly awakening from hibernation and carefree navigation is becoming increasingly difficult on the north side, but is still possible. It is best to stick to the deep (driving) gullies and hollows that have been blown in

Snow quality

On the shaded side, 5 - 30 cm of powder snow has been preserved on a soft base - partly completely unaffected. Further down, however, it lies on broken snow, but with the right choice of tour you can easily avoid this altitude (or overcome it without any problems on the flat approach).

Stage 2: Wet snow problem further down on the south side, then classic snow slab danger further up in the east sector. We saw a medium-sized avalanche in the distance, presumably triggered by a cornice break, which triggered another one. Difficult to estimate from a distance. Something between 20 and 80 cm sector NE approx. 1400mh

Overall impression

Found a nice powder mountain and no rocks, great snow, great sun and alone on the mountain. Keep up the good work!
