Avalanche warning for region Voss Monday 22.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
It’s mainly stable snow, but it is possible to trigger small avlanches where the snow gets really wet in the sun. Keep a safe distance to cornices and glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow 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)

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)

Sunday 21. May 2023

Snøgrensa varierer i regionen og er høgast i sørvendte hellingar og lengst ut mot kysten. Bekkar har opna seg mange stadar, men det er godt med snø i fjellet. Snøen er i hovudsak grovkorna, smelteomvandla og drenerer godt. Det er truleg skare frå morgonen som tiner utover dagen.

Eldre svake lag i snødekket har i hovedsak smelta, men det kan vere enkelte islag i snødekket.

Mountain weather

Sunday 21. May 2023

No precipitation. Breeze from southwest. 0 °C to 11 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 22. May 2023

4 mm precipitation, up to 10 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Breeze from southeast, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. 1 °C to 11 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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

Generelt er det stabile tilhøve. Om morgonen er det truleg skare og stabilt, men utover dagen kan det vere mogleg å løyse ut mindre laussnøskred i bratt terreng med svært våt snø. Skred kan gå naturleg om det kjem mykje regn, men det er stor usikkerheit i nedbørsprognosene. Generelt drenerer snødekket godt. Skavlbrot og glideskred kan førekomme.
