Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes storm force westerly wind, avalanche prone wind slabs formed during the night. Over a wide area new snow and wind slabs are lying on a moist old snowpack. The fresh wind slabs can be released by people, but they will be small in most cases.
They are to be avoided in steep terrain.
