Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a storm force westerly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches easily, including medium-sized ones. At elevated altitudes the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.
