Pongau Grass Mountains

Avalanche danger is LOW. On extremely steep shady slopes (>35°), isolated snowdrifts can be triggered. Avalanches will be small. Caution in terrain where you can fall. On steep grassy slopes isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible. In addition, solar radiation and warmth can cause small naturally triggered wet loose-snow avalanches in extremely steep sunny terrain.

Fresh snow and drifts have settled and consolidated well in the higher temperatures. On steep shady slopes at high altitudes and wherever drifts are more widespread the consolidation is taking place more gradually. Snowdrifts are often deposited atop loose old snow or colder fresh snow and are still prone to triggering. The old snowpack has consolidated with the higher temperatures, the weak layer are no longer as easy to trigger. Amid very mild temperatures and solar radiation, the snowpack became moist on Sunday up to high altitudes, often as far up as the summit regions. During the night a superficial crust formed, this softens up during the day. Below 1800 m there is little snow on the ground.

Above the layers of fog, visibility on Monday will be good from the start, only some cirrus clouds high above summit level. As of midday, cloudbanks will move into the Northern Alps, light will become diffuse. Winds will be light to moderate from W/S. Mild: at 2000 m, 2-5 degrees, at 3000 m, 0 degrees.

No significant change
