Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in east to south to west facing aspects above approximately 1600m.
Danger description
As a consequence of a moderate to strong northerly wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed. They are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the 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.
