Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong northerly wind, small wind slabs formed. These represent the main danger. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Single snow sport participants can release avalanches. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls. Very steep slopes are to be evaluated with care and prudence.
