Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 1400m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and a strong northwesterly wind, further wind slabs formed. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places. The wind slabs are to be avoided. 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.
