Avalanche warning for region Voss Thursday 11.06.2020

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Favorable conditions. Increasing temperatures, give more snow melt. Keep distance to areas with glide-cracks and be aware of weak cornices.

Avalanche problems

Glide avalanches

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

Wet snow/melting near the ground

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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)

Wednesday 10. June 2020

Snødekket er prega av høge temperaturar og snøsmelting dei siste vekene. Snøgrensa har trekt lang oppover og er varierande etter himmelretning og terrengform. I snøfylte område er det skiføre frå omlag skoggrensa. Høgfjellet har mykje snø for årstida, og der snødekket er tjukt finst det framleis lagdeling i snøen. Tynnare snødekke er grovkorna utan lagdeling. Mange av dei store toppskavlane har falt ned, men det er framleis mange igjen. Glidesprekkar i snøen er utbreidd.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 10. June 2020

No precipitation. Breeze from southeast. 3 °C to 14 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Thursday 11. June 2020

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from east. 6 °C to 18 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Snødekket verkar å drenere godt. Sjølv med høge temperaturar gjennom heile døgnet, er det venta at skredfaren held seg på same nivå. Enkelte stader er det framleis fare for glideskred, og i bratt terreng kan ein løyse ut små våte laussnøskred. Ver og merksam på skavlar som kan brekke i varmen.
