English term or phrase: windslab
Definition from Wordnik:
Snow which peels off in large slabs when disturbed, increasing the risk of avalanche.

Example sentence(s):
  • My friend led the first pitch, he put a couple of screws in as I paid out the rope and suddenly it went dark as a wave of snow washed down the crag. I heard a grunt and bang and when I opened my eyes the snow had finished falling and he was sitting there in the snow in front of me with a broken leg. He’d been swept off by a windslab layer. Natural Navigator
  • Paying attention to how long the winds were sustained is perhaps the most important factor in analyzing the hazard that windslabs pose. Longer duration wind events can completely strip the windward slopes and load up the lees with windslabs several feet thick Powder
  • Two windslab avalanches were observed on our tour today in Ward Canyon. Our best guess is they naturally released during the night due to strong windloading. Sierra Avalanche Center
