Wind Slab
Also:
One or more slab layers of snow deposited by the wind. Typically the crystals have been broken into small pieces and packed together tightly.
There was a three-page sequence on Wind Transport of Snow in our Education Center, with three additional supplemental pages available to members. It is now being moved to the Avalanche Institute as a short course.
This glossary is a work in progress and is made possible by AlpenPro.
