Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a storm force northwesterly wind, sometimes large wind slabs formed. The new snow and wind slabs are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. Avalanches can be triggered in the old snowpack. Large and, in isolated cases, very large natural avalanches are to be expected. Exposed parts of transportation routes can be endangered occasionally.
The conditions are very critical for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities. This also applies in steep starting zones in areas close to the tree line.
