Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 1800m.
Danger description
As a consequence of northeasterly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed in the last three days. They are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. At elevated altitudes the prevalence and size of these avalanche prone locations will increase. Careful route selection is required. The wind slabs are to be bypassed in particular in steep terrain.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
Below approximately 2400 m: On steep east, south and west facing slopes gliding avalanches are possible. In addition as the day progresses on south facing slopes, moist snow slides and avalanches are possible.
