Wind slabs

In particular in gullies and bowls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain as well as at elevated altitudes wind slabs formed. These are mostly small but in some cases prone to triggering. They are easy to recognise and to be assessed 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.
