Danger description

The rather small wind slabs of the last few days are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack in particular on shady slopes. They are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. Avalanches can in some places be released easily, but they will be small in most cases. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised as well in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
