Pongau Grass Mountains

Weak old snowpack with little snow.

Weak old snowpack with little snow.

The avalanche risk is low. In the northern and eastern exposures of the high altitudes, mostly small slab avalanches can still be triggered in a few places, often only with great additional load. Avalanche prone locations are in particular in very steep extreme terrain, where transitions from little to more snow as well as small, fresh pillows of wind drifted snow should be critically assessed. The risk of falling often outweighs the risk of burial, but be careful in the area of terrain traps!

Little snow, south-facing many apere surfaces, broad ridge and ridges often completely blown off. The snow surface is variable. The old snowpack is weak, with faceted crystals between crusts.

On Wednesday, the sky will often be covered with medium and high clouds. Visibility should be mostly unrestricted. Mostly it will remain free of precipitation or it will snow unproductively and intermittently. Moderate to brisk winds from south to east (peaks up to 70 km/h). Temperatures will be +2 degrees at 2000 metres and -4 degrees at 3000 metres.

No significant change in avalanche danger.
