Danger description

In some places avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow and reach a dangerous size. This applies especially in little used backcountry terrain. The avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Backcountry touring and other off-piste activities call for defensive route selection.
