Western Nonsberg Alps

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

Low avalanche danger will prevail.

In very isolated cases avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep west to north to east facing slopes. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation individual moist snow slides are possible. Mostly the avalanches are small.

Over a wide area a little snow is lying. Below approximately 1800 m from a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. Towards its base, the snowpack is faceted, especially on steep west, north and east facing slopes. Towards its surface, the snowpack is hard and its surface has a melt-freeze crust that is not capable of bearing a load. Sunshine and high temperatures will give rise as the day progresses to increasing moistening of the snowpack at low and intermediate altitudes.

The avalanche danger will persist.
