New snow
Avalanche prone locations
In all aspects above approximately 2500m.
Danger description
As a consequence of new snow and a strong to storm force westerly wind, further wind slabs will form at elevated altitudes. The new snow and wind slabs are prone to triggering. Dry avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach large size. In addition natural avalanches are to be expected.
Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and restraint.
Wet avalanches
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.
Remarks
The Avalanche Warning Service currently has only a small amount of information that has been collected in the field, so that the avalanche danger should be investigated especially thoroughly in the relevant locality.
