Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in northwest to north to south facing aspects above approximately 1200m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and a strong wind from westerly directions, sometimes large wind slabs formed in the last few days. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones. The avalanche prone locations are to be found on wind-loaded slopes and in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.
Ski touring and snowshoe hiking call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
As a consequence of warming gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are to be expected.
