Avalanche warning for region Voss Sunday 26.12.2021

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions, but be careful in steep terrain, especially where wind deposited slabs are thin or soft, a slab avalanche is easier to trigger here.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger 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)

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)

Saturday 25. 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 forventes at det stedvis ligger rim og kantkorn i overflata etter flere dager med kaldt vær. Siste observasjon fra 22/12 indikerer at problemet er begrenset.

Mountain weather

Saturday 25. December 2021

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from north. -15 °C to -6 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Sunday 26. December 2021

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from southeast. -16 °C to -5 °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

Fredagens fokksnøflak kan påvirkes av skiløpere, og selv om de er små og få, er det disse områdene skikjørere ofte vil oppsøke.
Noen steder kan fokksnø ligge på overflaterim eller en tynn skare med kantkorn under. Omfanget er foreløpig usikkert.
Hard og isete overflate med oppstikkende stein kan gjøre at selv små skred kan få alvorlig konsekvens.
