Western Nonsberg Alps

New snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.

New snow is to be evaluated with care and prudence.

The soft wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant in some cases in particular on steep shady slopes at high altitude. In many cases avalanches are medium-sized and can be released easily even by a single winter sport participant. On steep grassy slopes more moist snow slides are possible as a consequence of the precipitation. In very isolated cases the gliding avalanches are quite large.

Over a wide area over a wide area 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, will fall above approximately 1500 m. As a consequence of the moderate to strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations will form. The fresh and somewhat older wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.
