Avalanche warning for region Voss Wednesday 02.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
In general, there is little snow and stable conditions in the region, especially at lower altitudes. In exposed slopes at high altitudes, small to medium sized wind slabs may be triggered in fresh deposits that form when the wind is picking up.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).
