Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2000m.
Danger description
As a consequence of a strong to storm force northerly wind, further wind slabs will form. New snow and wind slabs are lying on the soft surface of an old snowpack. This applies in particular on shady slopes. Avalanches can in some cases be released easily and reach medium size. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for careful route selection.
