Nockberge — Bollettino valanghe

The avalanche risk is low. As the sun shines, the propensity to trigger wet avalanches increases slightly. This is particularly the case where there is still a lot of snow, i.e. mainly on very steep shady slopes at high altitudes and in some cases on east and west-facing slopes. The avalanches usually remain small, but can tear through to the ground in wet snow and occasionally reach medium size.

The snowpack can outgoing longwave radiation well overnight. A stable melt-freeze crust forms, which slowly softens during the day. The snowpack underneath consists of compact snow characterised by rain. On shady slopes from around 2500 metres, there are weak layers of deep rime in the old snowpack close to the ground. The snowpack, if still present at all, is moist to wet up to high altitudes.
