Avalanche warning for region Voss Wednesday 05.01.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
Avoid lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies.

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).

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.

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 vil fortsatt være mulig å løse ut skred i fokksnøen fra tirsdag. Skred kan bli store.
Dreiende vindretning vil også kunne gi noen mindre, ferske flakdannelser i nye hengretninger.
Faren er størst i de høyereliggende områdene som har fått mest snø mandag og tirsdag.
I lavere områder der nysnøen kom på barmark er skredfaren lavere.
