Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 1800m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong westerly wind, sometimes easily released wind slabs will form. These are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase as the day progresses.
Careful route selection is important.
