Western Nonsberg Alps

Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

Wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

In all regions only a little snow is lying. As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from southwesterly directions, mostly small wind slabs will form in the course of the day. The avalanche danger will increase a little during the day. The wind slabs represent the main danger. Avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. Mostly the avalanches are small.

The snowpack will be quite stable. Snow depths vary greatly above the tree line, depending on the infuence of the wind. Over a wide area up to 15 cm of snow has fallen above approximately 1500 m.

The avalanche danger will persist.
