Avalanche warning for region Voss Friday 27.12.2019

Danger level 1 - Low avalanche danger

Published:
Generally safe avalanche conditions. There is a persistent weak layer at the ground that can be triggered where the snowpack is thin. In some isolated areas you may find windslabs and high in the mountains you may also find thin storm slabs.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few 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)

Thursday 26. December 2019

Snøoverflaten er hard og bærende etter mildværet høyt til fjells før sist helg. I tillegg har mye vind den siste uka gitt et ujevnt og hardt snødekke. Det er generelt mindre snø enn normalt i regionen og lite snø under 700 moh.

Det finst vedvarende svake lag av kantkorn ved bakken.

Torsdag er det observert overflaterim på mykt underlag.

Mountain weather

Thursday 26. December 2019

No precipitation. -7 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Clear skies.

Friday 27. December 2019

Little to no precipitation. Breeze from south, changing to strong breeze from the south during the evening. -7 °C to -2 °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

Små endringer. Noen få cm. med ny nedbør. Økende vind utover kvelden endrer ikke forholdene nevneverdig. Det er et generelt stabilt snødekke i regionen med få skredproblem. I noen få heng kan kantkornlag påvirkes der snødekket er tynt. Høyt til fjells kan det fortsatt finnes fokksnøflak.
