Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in south to north to northeast facing aspects above approximately 2400m.
Danger description
The fresh wind slabs are in some cases still prone to triggering. They are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines. Even single snow sport participants can release avalanches, including medium-sized ones.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
Gliding avalanches
Below approximately 2200 m gliding avalanches are possible, in particular on very steep sunny slopes.
