Avalanche warning for region Voss Wednesday 08.02.2023

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 1200 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Over one meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 2 - Medium • Many steep slopes NE above 900 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within half a meter • The overlying slab is soft. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes E below 900 masl • Rimaget utgjør et svakt lag og kan utgjøre fare for flakskred. Har kun sjekket østhelling, men trolig en større utbredelse over 900moh

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of faceted snow beneath a crust • Over one meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 4 - Very large • Many steep slopes NE above 900 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Very difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 1200 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Very difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 1000 masl • Gikk ikke til topps. Stoppet og gravde snøprofil ved XXXXX

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of surface hoar • Within half a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. The overlying slab is soft. A big and identifiable crystal in the weak layer. • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes above 800 masl • -Glatt brudd -eksposisjon, kun vært på øst side. -Fuktig både over og under det svake lage, så kan anta at dette vil forsvinne

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Spontaneous release • 1 - Small • Many steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 700 masl • -nysnø binder på såpass mye fuktighet at det foreløpig ikke blir større en kat1 str

Avalanche Problems

• Wet slab avalanche • Loose snow • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 1000 masl • Snødekket oppleves stabilt på gitt posisjon men det kan være mulig å utløse skred da forhold sansynligvis er annerledes videre opp i høyden.

Avalanche Problems

• Loose wet avalanche • Loose snow • Difficult to trigger • 1 - Small • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW below 900 masl

Avalanche Problems

• Dry slab avalanche • Buried weak layer of new snow • Within a meter • The collapsing weak layer is thin < 3 cm. • Difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Some steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, NW above 800 masl • Finner stort sett sterke bindinger i snødekket her. Ingen tegn til VVSL. Den ferskeste fokksnøen så jeg lite til. Mulig den ferskeste fokksnøen kunne vært brukt som grunnlag for skredproblemet, men jeg så lite til den på min tur i dag.

• Wet slab avalanche • Wet snow/melting near the ground • Over one meter • Very difficult to trigger • 3 - Large • Few steep slopes N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW between 1100 masl and 700 masl • Glideskred.

Avalanche Problems

• Buried weak layer of faceted snow near the ground • Over one meter • The weak layer collapses easily and clean (easy propagation). • S
