Avalanche Activity

Favorable conditions

Avalanche danger is low. Due to solar radiation and diffuse light, natural releases (loose dry and loose moist) are to be expected in extremely steep terrain (>40°). Small releases by 1 person are possible. Fresh snowdrift accumulations in high altitude ridgeline terrain are small, can trigger a small slab. Danger of falling outweighs that of snow masses.

Snowpack Structure

Loose snow on the surface can lose bonding through solar radiation, but radiation also helps the snowpack to settle. Blanketed fresh snow or graupel can be a near-surface weak layer. As a result of solar radiation, bonding is generally good. Bonding is generally good, the base is compact.

Weather Forecast

The Nockberge will have heavy low lying clouds, making the light diffuse. Peaks should remain in the clear, foehn-generated bright intervals are possible. In the Northern Alps more pleasant. Winds light. At 2000 m: -2 degrees.

Tendency

Due to higher temperatures the snowpack will moisten, the wet-snow problem will increase.
