Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 2200m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and wind from variable directions, further wind slabs will form at elevated altitudes. Wind slabs are lying on the soft surface of an old snowpack. Avalanches can in some cases be released easily and reach medium size. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
