Danger description

As a consequence of a moderate to strong northerly wind, wind slabs will form in the course of the day. These are rather small but to be assessed with care and prudence. Apart from the danger of being buried, restraint should be exercised in particular in view of the danger of avalanches sweeping people along and giving rise to falls.
