Old snow, wind slabs

Faceted weak layers exist deep in the snowpack. In very isolated cases avalanches can be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. This applies especially on very steep north and east facing slopes above approximately 2200 m in little used terrain. These avalanche prone locations are very rare but are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Very steep shady slopes are to be traversed by snow sport participants one at a time.
As a consequence of southerly wind, small wind slabs formed as well. These are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling.
