Avalanche warning for region Voss Thursday 14.04.2022

Danger level 3 - Considerable avalanche danger

Published:
It is easy to trigger avalanches where the sun is warming the snow. A few natural avalanches might also release. Give all sunny slopes a wide berth!

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on some steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3). Remote triggering is possible.

Buried weak layer of surface hoar

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

Avalanches may release spontaneously on some 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 13. April 2022

Snøoverflata består av nysnøflak eller fokksnøflak av ulik fastleik, ellers bærande fokksnø eller skare. Det har vore litt vindtransport inn i austlege leheng, mens vestleg terreng, kuler og ryggar er avblesne.

Overflaterim og kantkorn har snødd ned nokre stadar.

Måndag vart det fjernutløyst eit lite skred ved Skipadalsnuten aust for Vossavangen.

Tysdag vart det meldt om flere drønn i området rundt Stordalsvatnet.

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

Klårvêr og oppvarming frå sola vil svekke snødekket i løpet av dagen.
Fokksnøflak er framleis lette å løyse ut i alle himmelretningar. Enkelte flak kan ligge på vedvarande svake lag og kan då både fjernutløysast og gå naturleg.

I bratte sørvendte fjellsider kan ein forvente naturleg utløyste våte laussnøskred.
