Western Nonsberg Alps

Wind slabs require caution.

Wind slabs require caution.

The fresh wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence. The prevalence of the avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist avalanches being released will increase in particular on steep sunny slopes.

Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. The surface of the snowpack will soften during the day. In particular at low and intermediate altitudes a little snow is lying.

The avalanche danger will persist. As a consequence of warming, the likelihood of moist and wet avalanches being released will increase on steep sunny slopes.
