Danger description

In particular in areas where the snow cover is rather shallow avalanches can be triggered in the weakly bonded old snow and reach a dangerous size. This applies especially on very steep slopes in little used backcountry terrain. The avalanche prone locations are rare but are barely recognisable, even to the trained eye. Defensive route selection is important.
