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 natural avalanches are to be expected. The danger exists primarily in alpine snow sports terrain. Avalanches capable of reaching valley bottoms and endangering exposed transportation routes are unlikely to occur.
The conditions are very critical for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities.
