Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes.

The wind slabs can be released in isolated cases on very steep shady slopes. Such avalanche prone locations are to be found in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 2400 m. Avalanches can reach medium size in isolated cases. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

Some snow will fall. As a consequence of a light to moderate wind, small wind slabs will form in isolated cases. In some cases various wind slab layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. This applies in particular on wind-protected shady slopes at elevated altitudes. They are in isolated cases prone to triggering. The snowpack will be subject to considerable local variations. From a snow sport perspective, in most cases insufficient snow is lying.

Wind slabs are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Low avalanche danger will persist.
