Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes storm force westerly wind, large wind slabs will form also in areas not adjacent to ridgelines. Natural avalanches are to be expected. Especially on north facing slopes the dry avalanches can release the saturated snowpack and can reach as far as areas without any snow cover. Exposed parts of transportation routes can be endangered.
Especially on north facing slopes more small and medium-sized wet avalanches are to be expected as a consequence of the rain, in particular below approximately 2000 m.
The backcountry and freeriding conditions are critical.
