Avalanche warning for region Voss Saturday 25.02.2023

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
New snow with wind will create small unstable storm slabs in lee areas. Wet loose avalanches in south and west facing slopes are expected when the sun comes out.

Avalanche problems

New snow (slab avalanches)

You can easily trigger avalanches on a few steep slopes. Avalanches can get large enough to bury or even kill you (size 2).

Buried weak layer of new snow

Wet snow (loose snow avalanches)

You can easily 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)

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

Roligere værforhold lar snødekket stabilisere seg. Vær likevel obs. i leheng der vinden flytter på snøen. Dersom solen kommer frem og varmer opp snøen kan det være lett å løse ut skred i solvendte brattheng.
