Wind slabs, old snow
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2200m.
Danger description
As a consequence of the sometimes storm force wind the wind slabs have increased in size once again during the night. The wind slabs can be released easily, even by a single winter sport participant,. Avalanches can in isolated cases penetrate deep layers and reach large size. Natural avalanches are possible in isolated cases. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
Wet avalanches
In particular on steep south facing slopes wet snow slides and avalanches are possible.
