The more recent wind slabs have formed in particular adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and generally at high altitudes. Here dry slab avalanches are possible, even medium-sized ones.
Avalanches can be released in the weakly bonded old snow especially on wind-loaded slopes. This applies even in case of a single winter sport participant in some cases. Weak layers in the old snowpack are treacherous.
