Avalanche warning for region Voss Monday 31.05.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
High temperatures may result in natural avalanche activity. Avlanches could also be triggered by skiers. The avlanche activity are increasing during the day. Glide avalanches are possible.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some 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

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)

Snødekket er stort sett smelteomvandla, unntaket er enkelte nordvendte heng i høgfjellet der ein framleis kan finne lagdelt snø. Snøgrensa ligg på 800-1000 moh.

Det har ikkje vore målt minusgrader om nettene ved målestasjon på Vikafjell (910 moh) på fleire dagar. Minumumstemperatur natt til søndag var 5,2 grader C.

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

Der snøoverflata er mjuk og laus kan ein løyse ut mindre våte laussnøskred. I enkelte områder kan det også løysne våte flakskred pga opphopning av vatn i snødekket.

Ver merksam på sprekkar i snødekket. Viss desse går heilt til bakken i områder der snøen ligg på bratte svaberg er det eit teikn på at det kan løysne glideskred.
