Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a strong northwesterly wind, further wind slabs formed. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude. Even single winter sport participants can release avalanches in some places, including medium-sized ones. Backcountry touring and snowshoe hiking call for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.
