Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in southwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2400m.
Danger description
The fresh and older wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering. The older wind slabs are covered with new snow in some cases and therefore difficult to recognise. In high Alpine regions the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent and the danger is slightly greater. Avalanches can reach medium size. Backcountry touring calls for careful route selection.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
As a consequence of solar radiation moist snow slides are possible.
