Wind slabs are in some cases prone to triggering in particular on west to north to east facing aspects above the tree line. Avalanches can in very isolated cases penetrate near-ground layers of the snowpack and reach medium size in isolated cases.
The wind will be moderate to strong. The wind has transported some snow. Sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs formed.
