Danger description

Fresh wind slabs are mostly small but can be released easily. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Mostly avalanches are only small.
The wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in very steep terrain. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
