Danger description

The northerly wind has transported the new snow significantly. The wind slabs of Wednesday are in some cases still prone to triggering. They are to be evaluated with care and prudence in steep terrain. At elevated altitudes the avalanche prone locations are more prevalent.
Additionally in isolated cases avalanches can also be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size. This applies in particular on little-used, rather lightly snow-covered shady slopes above approximately 2200 m. These avalanche prone locations are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Defensive route selection is advisable.
