Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong northerly wind, sometimes large wind slabs will form. These can be released easily. In some places dry avalanches can also release deeper layers of the snowpack and reach large size.
Ski touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Wet avalanches

Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be barely evident. From starting zones where no previous releases have taken place in particular on north facing slopes wet avalanches can in isolated cases reach large size. The danger will already exist in the early morning.
