Danger description

The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days can be released by a single winter sport participant. Weak layers exist in the bottom section of the snowpack, especially on steep north facing slopes. Avalanches can in some cases penetrate deep layers and reach dangerously large size.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

In particular on steep south facing slopes wet snow slides and avalanches are possible.
