Western Nonsberg Alps

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will decrease gradually.

The danger of moist and wet avalanches will decrease gradually.

Thus far only isolated small and medium-sized wet and gliding avalanches are possible as the temperature drops. Restraint should be exercised because avalanches can sweep people along and give rise to falls. Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places in particular on steep shady slopes. These avalanche prone locations are rather rare and are difficult to recognise. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on steep, little used shady slopes above approximately 1900 m. In isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach medium size.

The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. Individual weak layers exist in the old snowpack especially on steep shady slopes. Below the tree line a little snow is lying.
