Avalanche warning for region Voss Tuesday 31.03.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in areas with fresh wind deposited snow. Wet avalanches can occur where the snow is wet. Be careful beneath and in the vicinity of cornices.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Poor bonding between layers in wind deposited snow

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

Monday 30. March 2020

Snøoverflata er generelt varmepåvirka høgt til fjells. Det har komme eit lite dryss nysnø siste dagane i høgda, men stort sett hardt snødekke. Snødekket er for det meste jamt fordelt, men stadvis er toppar og ryggar avlesne. Snødjupna stig raskt med høgda og stadvis ligg det mykje snø.



Det var tidlegare i mars observert kantkorn rundt snødekket over 800-900 moh. Laga ligg no begravd djupare i snøen og er vansklegare å påverke.

Det er observert fleire glideskred i Kvassdalen, Vikafjellet og under Bodegaen og Superbodegaen.

Observatør melder at store skavlar heng over hårnålsvingane i Kvassdalen.

Mountain weather

Monday 30. March 2020

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from northwest. -8 °C to -1 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Tuesday 31. March 2020

10 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Fresh breeze from west, changing to strong breeze from the west during the afternoon. -7 °C to 0 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

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

Mykje nedbør og kraftig vind frå vest vil byggje fokksnøflak i hovedsakleg austlege lesider. Nokre stadar kan flak ligge på glatt skare og soleis vere lette å løyse ut.

Stigande temperatur vil òg auke faren for våte laussnøskred under 1000 moh.

Hald avstand til områder med glidekskred og store skavlar.
