Western Nonsberg Alps

The fresh and older wind slabs represent the main danger. As the day progresses, moist snow slides are possible.

The fresh and older wind slabs represent the main danger. As the day progresses, moist snow slides are possible.

The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls in all aspects. In addition in particular at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, further mostly small natural avalanches are possible. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more mostly small wet loose snow avalanches are possible.

The wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on steep shady slopes at high altitude. The old snowpack will be quite stable. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Early and late morning: The snowpack is wet and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is not capable of bearing a load.

The avalanche danger will persist. Wet snow requires caution.
