Wind slabs

Wind slabs have formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas and at high altitudes. They are mostly small but in some cases prone to triggering.
The wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence especially in extreme terrain. 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.
