Nock Mountains

Isolated trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations

Conditions in recent days have moistened the snowpack, the dropping temperatures then regained it some firmness. A few cm of fresh snow and fresh drifts are bonding well. The fresh drifts generated by southerly foehn wind and the NW storm wind on Wednesday is generally bonded wello. Possible weak spots for slab avalanches are most likely inside the fresh, shallow drifts.

The peaks will initially be in clouds, minor snowfall is possible. The clouds will then disperse, sunshine is expected, and better visibility. Very cold. At 2000 m: -9 degrees; at 3000 m: -16 degrees. Stormy NW winds will make it feel subjectively even colder.

Little change expected

Isolated trigger-sensitive snowdrift accumulations

Avalanche danger below 2000m is LOW. Fresh snowdrift accumulations are being generated on east-facing slopes, behind abrupt discontinuities in the terrain, in gullies and bowls. They are trigger sensitive on very steep slopes, releases will be small-sized. Danger zones increase with ascending altitude, they are generally easy to recognize.
