Danger description

The wind slabs of the last few days are in some cases prone to triggering. Mostly avalanches are medium-sized. In isolated cases 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 reduced. More wet avalanches are possible. From starting zones where no previous releases have taken place in particular on north facing slopes these can in isolated cases reach large size. As a consequence of solar radiation more frequent moist loose snow avalanches are to be expected.
