Old wind slabs require caution.

Old wind slabs require caution.

The older wind slabs can be released in isolated cases at high altitudes and in high Alpine regions. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular on very steep shady slopes and adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls. They are to be avoided especially in extremely steep terrain. Mostly avalanches are small. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

Somewhat older wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering on very steep shady slopes. The old snowpack will be generally stable. At elevated altitudes snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.

The avalanche danger will persist.
