Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2400m.
Danger description
Fresh and somewhat older wind slabs represent the main danger. Avalanches can reach medium size. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
In very isolated cases avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size. Careful route selection is recommended.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
As a consequence of solar radiation individual wet avalanches are possible. From starting zones where no previous releases have taken place in particular on north and east facing slopes these can in isolated cases reach large size.
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.
