Avalanche warning for region Voss Friday 31.12.2021

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Use great caution on recently loaded slopes in the alpine. Large avalanches could be triggered.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

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.

Avalanche risk assessment

I høgfjellet vil vind og snø i torsdag og fredag danne fokksnøflak. Ver merksam på endring av vindretning i løpet av dagen. I låglandet kjem det regn, men det er lite snø i låglandet og den snøen som ligg der frå tidlegare vert rekna som stabil.
