Avalanche warning for region Voss Friday 08.04.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in sun exposed steep slopes and in areas with wind slabs at higher elevations.

Avalanche problems

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Loose snow

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

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

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 7. April 2022

Siden helgen har det kommet 10-20 cm nysnø i fjellet. Vind har dannet flak i nysnøen og snøoverflaten veksler mellom ny mykere snø og eldre bærende fokksnø eller skare. Det ligger mest snø i leheng mot øst og sørøst. I sørsider er det noen steder dannet solskare.

Det er observert overflaterim og kantkorn i overflaten. Dette har blitt snødd ned noen plasser. Klarvær har gitt høy temperaturgradient i snødekket, noe som også kan ha begynt å danne kantkorn nede i snødekket.

Mountain weather

Thursday 7. April 2022

2-3 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Fresh breeze from east. -12 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Friday 8. April 2022

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from north, changing to fresh breeze from the north during the afternoon. -14 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

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

Klarvær og sol vil varme opp snøen i brattheng. Dette kan gi naturlig utløste løssnøskred ut på ettermiddagen.

Det er oppdaget nedføyket rim i regionen, akkurat som i mange naboregioner. Det vil være lett for en skikjører å løse ut skred i dette og skred kan bli store.
