Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a moderate to strong westerly wind, sometimes avalanche prone wind slabs will form in particular in the vicinity of peaks. Avalanches can in some places be released, even by a single winter sport participant, but they will be small in most cases. Caution is to be exercised in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain.
As a consequence of the rain more frequent wet and gliding avalanches are to be expected as the day progresses.
