Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force westerly wind, sometimes large wind slabs formed during the night. The new snow and wind slabs can be released by a single winter sport participant. Avalanches can in isolated cases reach large size.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

As a consequence of solar radiation moist loose snow avalanches are to be expected, even medium-sized ones. Caution is to be exercised in particular on very steep sunny slopes.
