Fresh wind slabs require caution.
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
The wind will be strong at times. Adjacent to ridgelines as well as at elevated altitudes mostly small wind slabs will form. These can be released by a single winter sport participant in isolated cases. They are to be avoided in very steep terrain. Mostly avalanches are small.
The fresh wind slabs will be deposited on weak layers in particular on very steep shady slopes. In shady places that are protected from the wind the snowpack is weaker. Hardly any weak layers exist in the old snowpack.
As a consequence of the strong to storm force northwesterly wind, the snow drift accumulations will increase in size on Saturday.
