Fresh wind slabs require caution.
Fresh wind slabs require caution.
The rather small wind slabs of the last few days are in some cases prone to triggering in particular on very steep shady slopes at elevated altitudes. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. Caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines.
As a consequence of the occasionally strong wind, fresh snow drift accumulations formed. These are poorly bonded with the old snowpack especially on wind-protected shady slopes.
A quite favourable avalanche situation will be encountered over a wide area.
