The wind slabs are easy to recognise and can only be released by large loads in most cases.

The wind slabs are easy to recognise and can only be released by large loads in most cases.

In some localities 2 to 5 cm of snow will fall. The strong wind has transported some snow. In particular adjacent to ridgelines the wind slabs have increased in size moderately. The wind slabs are mostly easy to recognise and to be assessed with care and prudence. The avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Avalanches can be released by a single winter sport participant.

In some cases the various wind slabs have bonded poorly with each other and the old snowpack.
