Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2000m.
Danger description
The somewhat older wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. In high Alpine regions these avalanche prone locations are to be found in all aspects. Avalanches can reach medium size. Backcountry touring calls for careful route selection.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
On very steep east, south and west facing slopes small and medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2400 m. In addition as the day progresses on south facing slopes, moist snow slides and avalanches are possible. This applies especially below approximately 2800 m.
