Danger description

The wind slabs of the last few days are in some cases still prone to triggering. Avalanches can in some places be released by people and reach medium size.
The wind slabs are to be evaluated with care and prudence in steep terrain. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for careful route selection.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation moist loose snow avalanches are to be expected. Gliding avalanches are possible.
