Pongau Grass Mountains

Avoid zones below glide cracks

Avoid zones below glide cracks

Avalanche danger is LOW. On steep grass-covered slopes in all aspects which have not yet discharged, glide-snow avalanches reaching medium size are possible at any time of day or night. Avoid zones below glide cracks. In sunny steep terrain, naturally triggered small loose-snow avalanches are possible. Above the treeline there are isolated danger zones where the fresh snowdrifts can trigger a small slab.

Atop a thoroughly wet old snowpack surface lie 15 cm of fresh snow, depending on altitude. On sunny slopes the ground was often bare prior to the fresh snowfall. The snowpack glides over smooth ground on grass-covered slopes. The W/NW winds transported little snow above the treeline.

During the nocturnal hours, heavy cloud, snowfall: 5 cm, snowfall level dropping to 700 m. In the Nockberge dry. On Tuesday, fog will reduce visibility. As of midday, increasingly sunny, improving visibility, it will remain dry. Light to moderate W/NW winds. At 1500 m: -2 degrees; at 2000 m: -6 degrees.

Avalanche danger levels are not expected to change significantly.
