Avalanche warning for region Voss Friday 26.05.2023

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally stable conditions. Some places it might be possibe to release small avalanches in the new snow.

Avalanche problems

New 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)

Loose 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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Thursday 25. 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. Kaldare vêr kan føra til at snøoverflata frys til skare nokre plassar. I høgda ligg det nysnø.

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

Mountain weather

Thursday 25. May 2023

14 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1000 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Strong breeze from west. -1 °C to 4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Friday 26. May 2023

6 mm precipitation, up to 15 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 1200 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Fresh breeze from west. 0 °C to 6 °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

Det held fram å snø i høgda, og det kan vera lett å løyse ut små laussnøskred i nokre få bratte heng. Enkelte skred kan gå av seg sjølv i nysnøen når ho blir utsett for sol eller varme.

Der vinden teke, kan det dannast små flak. Desse fester seg truleg godt til barmark eller våt snøoverflate, og vil vere vanskelege å løyse ut.

Skavlar er ofte ustabile på denne tida av året.

Under nysnøgrensa er snøen smelteomdanna og stort sett stabil.
