Avalanche warning for region Voss Sunday 04.12.2022

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
In lee-formations above 1000 m.a.s.l. it is possible to release small slabs in the fresh snow. Otherwise, no regional avalanche problems. Keep in mind that even small avalanches can have consequences if you fall into rocky terrain.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches are relatively harmless to people, but can knock you off balance. Can be dangerous close to terrain traps. (size 1)

Buried weak layer of new 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)

Saturday 3. December 2022

Det er svært lite snø for årstiden. Plussgrader og regn til fjelltopphøyde har smeltet eller omdannet snøen som kom tidligere i høst. Det er bare mulig å finne sammenhengende skiføre på breer og forsenkninger med snø fra forrige vinter. Mandag kom det litt nysnø over ca 1000 moh som har lagt seg på frossen bakke.

Mountain weather

Saturday 3. December 2022

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from south. -13 °C to -4 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Sunday 4. December 2022

No precipitation. Calm/light breeze from south. -11 °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

Over ca 1000m finnes stedvis myke fokksnøflak i skjermede terrengformasjoner som vender mot V, NV, N og NØ. Snøen kom på gunstige temperaturer tidlig i uka så fokksnøflakene er generelt vanskelige å løse ut. Ellers i terrenget er det svært lite snø og ingen skredproblem.
