Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 1800m.
Danger description
As a consequence of a moderate to strong westerly wind, wind slabs will form especially adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. Avalanches can in some places be released by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
