Avalanche warning for region Voss Monday 26.02.2024

Danger level 2 - Moderate avalanche danger

Published:
Be careful in lee areas with wind deposited snow, typically behind ridges, ribs and in gullies. Wind slabs are especially easy to trigger where they are thin or soft.

Avalanche problems

Wind drifted snow (slab avalanches)

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

Buried weak layer of new snow

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)

Sunday 25. February 2024

Det er eit nysnødryss i høgda. Forholdsvis lite vind og synkande snøgrense under snøfallet i helga har gitt at meir av terrenget er dekt av snø. Det eldre snødekket er hardare etter mykje vind og mildvêr tidlegare i veka.

Kantkorn er observert ved skarelag i snødekket. Etter mildværet sist helg vil truleg mykje av overliggande snø være bærande.

Mountain weather

Sunday 25. February 2024

8 mm precipitation, up to 22 mm in the most exposed areas. Rain up to 400 m a.s.l during the afternoon. Breeze from southwest. -10 °C to -2 °C at 1100 m a.s.l.

Monday 26. February 2024

2-4 mm precipitation. Rain up to 600 m a.s.l during renoon. Breeze from west. -6 °C to -1 °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

Under nysnødrysset er det fokksnøflak av ulik hardheit. Enkelte av desse flaka kan bli løyst ut av skiløpar. Det er størst sjanse for å løyse ut dei mjuke flaka.

Det er usikkert om svake lag av kantkorn fortsatt er tilstades, men vær likevel merksam på dette i kalde, skjerma botnar ved dei høgaste toppane. Drønn og sprekker i snødekket er tydelige teikn.
