Avalanche warning for region Voss Wednesday 10.03.2021

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Locally unstable conditions. A skier or a snow mobile may trigger avalanches in the fresh wind slabs, while persistent weak layers deeper in the snow in general is hard to trigger.

Avalanche problems

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury a car or destroy a small house (size 3).

Buried weak layer of faceted snow near surface

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

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)

Tuesday 9. March 2021

Snøoverflaten er preget av lørdagens kraftige vind og består mange steder av fokksnø av varierende hardhet eller er avblåst ned til gammel smelteomvandlet snøoverflate.

Observasjoner fra høyden viser at svakt lag av kantkorn fra kuldeperioden i jan/feb fortsatt kan være intakt noen steder.

Mountain weather

Tuesday 9. March 2021

No precipitation. Breeze from south. -12 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Wednesday 10. March 2021

2-6 mm precipitation. Fresh breeze from southeast, changing to gale from the southeast during renoon. -8 °C to -3 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. 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

Høyt til fjells i indre del av regionen kan det finnes svakt lag av kantkorn som fortsatt kan påvirkes. Vær spesielt oppmerksom ut mot tynt snødekke.

Økende vind og litt snø vil gi nye ferske fokksnøflak. Nå mot V-NV-N. Lite nysnø og begrenset løs snø i terrenget å flytte på gjør at flak blir små, men vil kunne være lett å løse ut.

Lørdagens fokksnøflak i S-SØ-Ø ventes generelt å ha stabilisert seg, men vær oppmerksom i høyfjellet der kaldt vær gjør at stabiliseringen går langsommere.
