Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2400m.
Danger description
Fresh wind slabs are mostly small but can be released easily. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye.
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 in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
