Danger description

As a consequence of a gathering strong southerly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form in the course of the day at elevated altitudes. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. In addition the large wind slabs of Friday are capable of being triggered in some cases still. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches. These can in isolated cases reach large size.
Ski touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Additional danger: Wet avalanches as day progresses
