Avalanche warning for region Voss Monday 15.01.2024

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

Wind drifted 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).

Persistent weak layer (slab avalanches)

You can trigger avalanches on some 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)

Sunday 14. January 2024

Siden lørdag er det kommet 10-30 cm ny snø med vind fra nordvest. Varierende vindstyrke gjør at snøoverflaten mange steder består av flakdannelser av varierende hardhet etter som hvordan vinden har tatt. I lune formasjoner og i lavere områder er snøen ubunden.

Det finnes kantkorn rundt mildværsskaren fra desember. Observasjon 11. jan tyder på at kantkorn over skarelag har størst utbredelse.

Mountain weather

Sunday 14. January 2024

4-7 mm precipitation. Rain up to 300 m a.s.l Sunday night. Fresh breeze from northwest. -11 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly cloudy.

Monday 15. January 2024

2-4 mm precipitation. Precipitation as snow. Breeze from north. -20 °C to -7 °C at 1100 m a.s.l. Partly 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

De siste dagenes flakdannelser vil trenge tid for å stabilisere seg. Det kan fortsatt være lett å løse ut middels store skred på utsatte plasser, typisk bak rygger, kuler og ved inngang til renner.
Stedvis kan det også finnes en svak snødekkeoppbygging under den nye snøen. Drønn og sprekker i snødekket er tydelige tegn på dette.
