Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions.

Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found on very steep shady slopes in high Alpine regions.

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 in high Alpine regions. Avalanches are rather small. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.

In some cases various wind slab layers are lying on a weakly bonded old snowpack. This applies in particular on shady slopes. 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.

The weather will be mild.
