Danger description

Distinct weak layers in the old snowpack can be released even by individual winter sport participants. This applies in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Avalanches can reach large size. Remotely triggered avalanches are possible.
The conditions are precarious for backcountry touring and other off-piste activities. Caution and restraint are recommended.
