Danger description

Weak layers in the old snowpack can be released in some places by people in particular on steep, little used west, north and east facing slopes. This applies in particular at transitions from a shallow to a deep snowpack. Avalanches can reach medium size.
In addition the more recent wind slabs should be taken into account. The prevalence of these avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for defensive route selection.
