Danger description

As a consequence of a gathering strong southerly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs will form in the course of the day. They are clearly recognisable to the trained eye. The wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in steep terrain. Avalanches can in some cases reach medium size.

Additional danger: Wet avalanches as day progresses
