Western Nonsberg Alps

Wind slabs at elevated altitudes.

Some snow has fallen since Sunday in some regions, especially at high altitude. The spring-like weather conditions will give rise to rapid moistening of the snowpack in particular on sunny slopes. At low and intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying.

From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying. Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming.

Wind slabs at elevated altitudes.

Somewhat older wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in very steep terrain, in particular on very steep shady slopes at high altitude. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Increase in danger of wet snow slides as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation.
