Avalanche warning for region Voss Sunday 10.05.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be aware of isolated storm slabs in the alpine, otherwise stable conditions. Keep distance to areas with glide-cracks and be aware of weak cornices.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily 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)

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 9. May 2020

De siste dagene har det kommet noe nysnø i fjellet. Gammelt snødekke er stort sett gjennomfuktet, men i de høyeste nordvendte lesidene kan det fortsatt finnes tørr snø. Snøgrensa ligger på 400-700 moh. Det er store skavler flere steder.

Mountain weather

Saturday 9. May 2020

8-10 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from west. -5 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Sunday 10. May 2020

1-3 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -7 °C to -1 °C at 1100 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

Fokksnøen fra de siste dagene stabiliseres raskt grunnet gunstige temperaturer. Ved direkte solinnstråling kan det løsne små løssnøskred i bratt terreng.

Mange steder kan skavler være svært store. Vær forsiktig ved ferdsel på rygger og på topper.

Faren for glideskred ventes å avta grunnet kaldere vær. Hold allikevel avstand til glidesprekker. Slike skred er svært vanskelig å forutse og kan gå uten synlige faretegn.
