Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a storm force northwesterly wind, deep wind slabs formed on Monday. They are lying on top of a weakly bonded old snowpack. Avalanches can in some places be released by people and reach large size. Whumpfing sounds and the formation of shooting cracks when stepping on the snowpack can indicate the danger.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and caution.
