Avalanche warning for region Voss Monday 20.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in steep terrain with wind deposited snow.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Sunday 19. December 2021

Det er lite snø. Det ligger noen fokksnøflak i leområder mot Ø og S over tregrensa. Mildværet forrige uke smelta mye snø og påvirket snøoverflaten helt til topps, så fokksnøen ligger på flekkvis smelteomvandla snø/skare.

Kantkornlagene fra tidligere kuldeperioder er nøytralisert av mildværet høyt til fjells. På de aller høyeste toppene (over ca. 1400 moh) kan det fortsatt være mulig å finne intakte kantkornlag, men de er trolig vanskelige å påvirke.

Under ca. 700 moh er det lite eller ingen snø.

Mountain weather

Sunday 19. December 2021

No precipitation. Fresh breeze from northwest. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Monday 20. December 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -10 °C to -3 °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

I enkelte leområder som har samlet snø kan det være mulig å løse ut skred, men fokksnøflakene vil stabiliseres og skredfaren avtar.
