Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and wind from northerly directions, small wind slabs will form. These are to be evaluated with care and prudence in particular in very steep terrain. 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. Careful route selection is recommended.
