Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2400m.
Danger description
As a consequence of northerly wind, wind slabs will form. These are mostly small but can in some cases be released easily. Avalanches can reach medium size. Backcountry touring calls for careful route selection.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
As a consequence of solar radiation wet avalanches are possible, even large ones in isolated cases. This applies especially on steep north facing slopes below approximately 2500 m, as well as on steep east, south and west facing slopes below approximately 2800 m.
Remarks
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.
