Watch for these wind slabs in unusual places as complicated cross-loading and reverse-loading patterns are prevalent. Wind slabs may overlie weak, sugary, faceted snow, meaning that they could break wider than expected and will likely be slow to bond.

Reactivity on this layer has primarily been observed at treeline and in \"treeline-like\" features, like cutblocks, that are below treeline. On steep south-facing terrain, this layer may consist of facets on a sun crust, which has produced notable low probability/high consequence avalanches and requires a conservative approach.
