Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in northwest to north to southeast facing aspects above approximately 1400m.
Danger description
As a consequence of a strong to storm force southwesterly wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form. The mostly small wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in very steep terrain.
Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
