Avalanche warning for region Voss Sunday 09.01.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Especially where the 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 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)

Saturday 8. January 2022

Snødekket er variert og det har vore jamt med nedbør sidan årsskifte. I høgda har det tidvis blese kraftig og snøen er mange stadar bunden i flak av varierande hardleik. I skjerma formasjonar kan det ligg ubunden snø, mens ryggar og toppar er stadvis avblesene. I skoggrensa ligg snøen framleis laus.

Eventuelle vedvarande svake lag er smelta eller ligg under bærande skare.

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 ligg ustabile fokksnøflak i alle himmelretningar som treng tid på å stabilisere seg. Dei ferskaste flaka vil ligge i nordvestlege leområder.
