Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to south facing aspects above approximately 1400m.
Danger description
The wind slabs of the last two days represent the main danger. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence especially in very steep terrain. Backcountry touring and snowshoe hiking call for careful route selection. 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.
