Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2400m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong southwesterly wind, wind slabs will form. These can in some cases be released by people. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses. Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can be released in near-surface layers of the snowpack. Backcountry touring calls for careful route selection.
Wet avalanches
As a consequence of the rain wet and gliding avalanches are to be expected, even large ones in isolated cases. This applies in all aspects in particular below approximately 2400 m.
