Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and northwesterly wind, easily released wind slabs will form. In addition the somewhat older wind slabs of the last three days are capable of being triggered in isolated cases still. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches, including dangerously large ones. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and careful route selection.

Gliding avalanches

More small to medium-sized gliding avalanches are possible below approximately 2200 m.
