Wind slabs require caution.
The wind slabs can be released in isolated cases, especially at their margins. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Mostly avalanches are small.
The wind slabs are lying on soft layers. The old snowpack will be quite stable.
