Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2400m.
Danger description
At elevated altitudes sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in steep terrain. Avalanches can reach medium size.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The danger of wet avalanches will increase a little during the day. In starting zones where no previous releases have taken place wet and gliding avalanches are possible. These can reach medium size.
