Nock Mountains

Generally favorable avalanche situation

On shady slopes at high altitudes, isolated weak layers in transitions from old to fresh snow. On sunny slopes and at lower altitudes the bonding of fresh snow to old snow is generally good, the snowpack is often moistened and forms a thin melt-freeze crust during the night.

On Monday, good visibility, sunshine from early till late. Winds will be light. Temperatures will continue to rise. At 2000m: +1 degree; at 3000m: -5 degrees. On Monday night, skies will be star-studded.

Little change anticipated. As temperatures gradually ris, likelihood of triggering will recede.

Generally favorable avalanche situation

Avalanche danger is low. Isolated danger zones occur near ridgelines, esp. in steep shady terrain at summit level. Apart from the danger of being buried in snow masses, the risks of being swept along and forced to take a fall demand adequate consideration. During the course of the day, small loose-snow slides continue to be possible. On steep grass-covered slopes, isolated small glide-snow avalanches are possible.
