Danger description

The large quantity of fresh snow and the often deep wind slabs represent the main danger. Even single snow sport participants can release avalanches very easily, including large ones. More natural avalanches are to be expected.
The danger exists primarily in alpine snow sports terrain. Avalanches capable of reaching valley bottoms and endangering exposed transportation routes are unlikely to occur.
Extensive experience in the assessment of avalanche danger and great restraint are important.
