Danger description

Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can still be released in isolated cases especially on very steep north facing slopes. Avalanches can reach quite a large size. The avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Very steep, little used north facing slopes are to be evaluated with care and prudence.

Additional danger: Wet avalanches as day progresses
