Dry avalanches: Old snow
Weak layers in the upper part of the snowpack can still be released in very isolated cases especially on north facing slopes. Avalanches can reach quite a large size. The avalanche prone locations are very rare but are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Extremely steep, little used north facing slopes are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
Additional danger: Wet avalanches as day progresses
