Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in northwest to north to east facing aspects above approximately 1400m.
Danger description
The wind slabs of the last few 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.
Wet avalanches as day progresses
Gliding avalanches and moist snow slides are possible.
