Wind slab
- Above 1,800 m
The wind slabs represent the main danger.
The wind slabs represent the main danger.
The wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads,. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found especially in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain above approximately 1800 m. In particular on very steep slopes individual small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized avalanches are possible. In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.
Above the tree line snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a favourable old snowpack.
Heavy snowfall.
