Danger description

The new snow and wind slabs of the last few days are lying on the unfavourable surface of an old snowpack on west to north to east facing aspects. Avalanches can be released, even by a single winter sport participant and reach medium size.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation more frequent small to medium-sized gliding avalanches and wet snow slides are to be expected.
