Avalanche warning for region Voss Friday 24.12.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. A weak layer of buried surface hoar can be present underneath fresh wind deposited snow in isolated features.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted 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).

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)

Thursday 23. December 2021

Det kom noen cm snø i regionen onsdag med lite vind. Mildvær forrige uke omtrent til fjelltopphøyde gjør at det er flekkvis skiføre under tregrensa. Det gamle snødekket er hardt og smelteomvandlet.

Det ble observert overflaterim og begynnende kantkorn under tynn overflateskare ved Uppsete på mandag, dette må vi følge med på når det kommer mer snø.

Mountain weather

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

Det kom betydelig mindre snø enn meldt onsdag og det er begrenset snø tilgjengelig for vinden. Der det dannes fokksnøflak vil disse være lette å påvirke for en skiløper, men det er begrenset til noen få heng.

Noen steder kan nysnø/fokksnø ligge på overflaterim eller en tynn skare med kantkorn under. Omfanget er foreløpig usikkert.
