Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2200m.
Danger description
As a consequence of a strengthening southerly foehn wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form. These can be released easily in particular on steep north facing slopes. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and caution. The wind slabs are to be avoided.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist snow slides and avalanches are possible.
