Avalanche warning for region Voss Saturday 07.05.2022

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Keep your distance to areas beneath glide cracks. Be especially careful in sun exposed steep slopes, danger increases with temperature during the day.

Avalanche problems

Glide avalanches

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

Wet snow/melting near the ground

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

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)

Friday 6. May 2022

Det er fortsatt godt skiføre og rikelig med snø i fjellet. Varmen den siste tiden har smeltet frem rygger og rabber, og snødekket består nå av smelteformer. I leheng mot øst ligger det flere meter snø. I sørvendte skråninger er det nå dårlig skiføre under tregrensen. Under 400-500 moh. er det overveiende barmark.

Det kan finnes kantkorn i enkelte nordvendte heng høyt til fjells, men det er ikke observert aktivitet i laget på lang tid.

Mountain weather

Friday 6. May 2022

20 mm precipitation, up to 40 mm in the most exposed areas. Precipitation as rain. Fresh breeze from southwest, changing to fresh breeze from the west during the evening. 1 °C to 5 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Cloudy.

Saturday 7. May 2022

0-3 mm precipitation. Rain up to 800 m a.s.l Saturday night. Strong breeze from northwest, changing to breeze from the northwest during the evening. -4 °C to 1 °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

Den økte faren for glideskred vil vedvare en stund etter at overflaten har fryst til. Glideskred kan løsne hele døgnet og de kan bli opp til store. Unngå opphold under glidesprekker.

Dersom sola tar tak kan det gi fare for våte løssnøskred i bratt terreng. Både naturlig utløste skred og skiløperutløste skred er aktuelt.

Hold god avstand til skavler.

Vind og litt lavere temperatur vil generelt virke stabiliserende på det våte snødekket.
