Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200m.
Danger description
The somewhat older wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering. This applies in particular on steep shady slopes, and in all aspects in high Alpine regions. Avalanches can reach medium size. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
On steep east, south and west facing slopes gliding avalanches are possible, in particular below approximately 2400 m. In addition as the day progresses on south facing slopes, moist snow slides and avalanches are possible, in particular below approximately 2800 m.
