Old snow, wind slabs

Avalanches can be triggered from place to place in a weak layer above or beneath the rain crust which formed at the end of December. These avalanche prone locations are rare. Mostly avalanches are small. As a consequence of a moderate to strong northwesterly wind, mostly small wind slabs formed at elevated altitudes. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
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.
