Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2200m.
Danger description
As a consequence of a moderate to strong northerly wind, mostly small wind slabs formed in the last few days. They are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches can in some cases be released easily, but they will be small in most cases. The wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in steep terrain.
