Wind slabs require caution.

Wind slabs require caution.

Wind slabs require caution. The wind slabs are to be avoided as far as possible in particular on near-ridge shady slopes. These are in some cases prone to triggering. In isolated cases avalanches are medium-sized. In addition in particular in the regions exposed to heavier precipitation, individual gliding avalanches are possible.

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong wind from variable directions, wind slabs formed in all aspects. In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded still only poorly with each other and the old snowpack, in particular on very steep shady slopes.

The weather conditions will bring about a strengthening of the snow drift accumulations.
