Wind slabs
Avalanche prone locations
In particular in west to north to east facing aspects above approximately 2600m.
Danger description
At elevated altitudes wind slabs will form. These are rather small but can in some cases be released easily. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in steep terrain. 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
The surface of the snowpack will cool hardly at all during the overcast night. Individual wet avalanches are possible. This applies especially on very steep north facing slopes between approximately 2000 and 2400 m.
