Avalanche warning for region Voss Friday 25.12.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in and close to terrain traps and on steep slopes until the new snow has stabilized. Be aware that persistent weak layers can be hidden in the snow pack.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

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

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Friday 25. December 2020

Nysnø og vind har gitt fersk fokksnø i alle himmelretningar. Mildvêret førre helg fukta snøoverflata til topps i store deler av regionen og danna tynne smeltefryse sjikt i snøen. Det er generelt lite snø i låglandet og snøen er jamt fuktig. Det ligg mest snø i vestvendt terreng og i konkave formasjonar. Ryggar og toppar er avblesne eller smelta fram.

Det er observert kantkorna snø kring skarelag i regionen over 8-900 meter. Mykje av dette har fått no bærande overdekning, men stadvis kan svakt lag påverkast i høgda.

Avalanche risk assessment

Det ligg mindre ustabile flak i hovedsakleg sørvestlege lesider som treng tid for å stabilisere seg.

Ein lyt òg vere merksam på vedvarande svakt kantkornlag djupare i snødekket i høgda.
