Avalanche warning for region Voss Monday 03.02.2020

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in terrain with fresh storm slabs until the new snow is stabilized. Keep your distance to areas beneath glide cracks.

Avalanche problems

New 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).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Glide avalanches

You can trigger avalanches on a few 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.

Snow cover (in Norwegian)

Sunday 2. February 2020

Det er store variasjoner i snødekket i regionen.

Det er mye snø i N-Ø-vendte leheng etter perioder med mye vind fra SV i kombinasjon med mye nedbør. Det er godt med snø over ca 800 moh og lite snø i lavere områder.

Mange steder er det gode glideflater med skare i snødekket.

Lørdag var det mildt opp til omkring 1100 moh. I områder under omkring 1000 moh er snødekket fuktig og vått.

Det har vært observert glideskred flere steder. Det oppfordres til å unngå å oppholde seg under områder med glidesprekker.

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

Nysnøflak dannet de siste dagene vil gradvis stabilisere seg. En dreining i vindretingen og noe nedbør vil kunne gi dannelse av nysnøflak. Vær forsiktig i områder der snø fra de siste dagene er bundet til myke flak.

Fare for enkelte glideskred selv om temperaturen har gått ned. Vær oppmerksom i områder med glidesprekker.
