Pongau Grass Mountains

Low avalanche danger, occasional wet and sliding snow activity

Low avalanche danger, occasional wet and sliding snow activity

The avalanche risk is low. Small spontaneous wet snow or gliding sluffs are still possible on the few sunny slopes that have not yet been discharged in the afternoon hours. In addition, small snow slabs can still be triggered occasionally in the entrance areas of gullies and bowls on the shady slopes, but usually only with great additional load.

The snowpack is moist to wet and well settled right up to the summit areas. The snow surface can cool down well overnight and crust can form, but on the sunny slopes it softens again during the day. On shady slopes, there are still weak layers of large faceted crystals in the lower part of the snowpack, especially close to the ground. Low and sunny mid-altitudes are often already snowed out.

Friday night will be mostly clear, with shallow fog forming in the northern lowlands and some valleys. On Friday, it will be very sunny again with good visibility, even if a little more high cloud and dust will spoil the sunshine somewhat. There will be a weak to moderate easterly wind. At 2000 metres it will be 2 to 5 degrees.

No change in avalanche danger. Weak daytime changes in wet snow avalanche activity.
