Avalanche warning for region Voss Thursday 17.02.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in terrain with fresh storm slabs until the new snow is stabilized.

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).

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)

Wednesday 16. February 2022

Vind i fjellet har bundet nysnøen til myke flak over tregrensen, men trolig er det fremdeles en del løs og ubunden snø på mindre vindutsatte plasser.

Nysnøen ligger over skare og fokksnøflak av ulik hardhet og tykkelse. Det er mest snø i østvendte terrengformasjoner, men det ligger snø i alle himmelretninger. På vindutsatte plasser er det avblåst med skare under nysnøen.

Mountain weather

Wednesday 16. February 2022

6-10 mm precipitation. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during renoon. Breeze from east, changing to fresh breeze from the southeast during the evening. -7 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Thursday 17. February 2022

10 mm precipitation, up to 20 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from east, changing to breeze from the west during the afternoon. -10 °C to -2 °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

Påfyll av snø og et svakt drag av vind, vil føre til at snøen blir lett bundet på utsatte plasser. Enkelte steder kan det være lett å løse ut skred i nysnøen. Med vind fra flere retninger igjennom dagen, og lokale forskjeller i vindretningen kan det ligge vindtransportert snø i flere himmelretninger.
Ellers har snødekket en gunstig oppbygning nå, uten noen markante svake lag
