Glide snow on extremely steep grass-covered slopes

Glide snow on extremely steep grass-covered slopes

Avalanche danger is LOW, only few danger zones for slab avalanches in very steep to extremely steep shady terrain and in gullies where in isolated cases large additional loadint (a fall, stomping, etc.) a fracture can occur in the old snow. Naturally triggered small glide-snow avalanches are possible on very steep grassy slopes in all aspects, but particularly in extended southern aspects. Avoid areas below glide-cracks.

The snowpack has settled well. Fresh snow and drifts from last weekend are well bonded with the old snowpack. In south-facing terrain a thin melt-freeze crust on steep slopes has formed. In other aspects on leeward slopes there is good powder, Isolated: the snowpack glides away over very steep, mostly sunny grassy slopes from the ground.

On Sunday, clouds to start with, then dispersing, visibility mostly sufficient. In the early hours, minor snowfall is possible, later on dry. In the Pinzgau, clouds will disperse near midday. At 2000 m: from -2 to +1 degree. Winds will not disturb.

No significant change is expected.
