Wind slab
- Above 2,200 m
At elevated altitudes a dangerous avalanche situation will persist in some regions. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.
At elevated altitudes a dangerous avalanche situation will persist in some regions. The wind slabs must be evaluated with care and prudence in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m.
The wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. They must be evaluated with care and prudence. Whumpfing sounds serve as an alarm indicating the danger. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. On steep slopes and in gullies and bowls the avalanche situation is unfavourable. Avalanches can also be triggered in the old snowpack and reach medium size.
The wind slabs remain for the foreseeable future prone to triggering in particular on steep shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. Weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on shady slopes.
