Fresh wind slabs require caution.

Fresh wind slabs require caution.

As a consequence of a sometimes strong northerly wind, clearly visible wind slabs formed. These are mostly only small but prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above the tree line.

As a consequence of a strong northerly foehn wind, mostly small wind slabs formed. These are lying on unfavourable layers. In all altitude zones only a little snow is lying. Snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. Faceted weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack in particular on shady slopes.

The mostly shallow wind slabs of the weekend remain prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes.
