Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2000m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force westerly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed during the night. These are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Avalanches can be released easily and reach medium size.
The wind slabs are to be avoided in steep terrain.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
As a consequence of solar radiation moist loose snow avalanches are to be expected, even medium-sized ones. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep sunny slopes.
