The more recent wind slabs are in isolated cases prone to triggering on very steep north and east facing slopes at elevated altitudes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found adjacent to ridgelines and in pass areas. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Wind slabs are to be avoided in particular in terrain where there is a danger of falling.

The mostly shallow wind slabs of the last few days are lying on soft layers on northwest to north to east facing aspects. They are in isolated cases prone to triggering at elevated altitudes. The solar radiation will give rise as the day progresses to moistening of the snowpack on steep sunny slopes. Only a small amount of snow is lying for the time of year.
