Danger description

The large quantity of fresh snow and the sometimes large wind slabs are poorly bonded with the old snowpack in particular on west to north to east facing aspects. As a consequence of a strong to storm force northwesterly wind, further wind slabs will form. At elevated altitudes medium-sized to large natural avalanches are to be expected. This applies in particular during the night.
The danger exists in particular in alpine snow sports terrain. Avalanches capable of reaching the valley bottom are not to be expected. The conditions are very critical for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities.
