"The wind is the architect of avalanches" – this classic saying by Wilhelm Paulke from the 1930s still holds true today. Wind affects both falling and already deposited snow and is one of the most important avalanche-forming factors. With loose snow, wind always leads to snow drift and thus to an increase in avalanche danger! (from LAWINE. Praxishandbuch by Rudi Mair and Patrick Nairz)
