Danger description

The strong wind will transport the loosely bonded old snow. The fresh wind slabs are mostly small but prone to triggering. They are to be avoided in steep terrain.
Avalanches can additionally in isolated cases be released in near-surface layers. These avalanche prone locations are difficult to recognise. Defensive route selection is recommended.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

In all aspects medium-sized wet avalanches are possible as a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation. Backcountry tours should be concluded timely.
