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

In steep south-facing alpine 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.
