Danger description

As a consequence of new snow and a sometimes strong northerly wind, further wind slabs will form. They are mostly small but in some cases prone to triggering. The wind slabs are to be avoided in steep terrain.
In isolated cases avalanches can be released in deep layers and reach medium size. This applies in particular on very steep north facing slopes in little used backcountry terrain. Careful route selection is recommended.
