Danger description

The new snow and wind slabs of the last three days are in some cases still prone to triggering. Single winter sport participants can release avalanches, including dangerously large ones. In some cases dry avalanches can release the wet old snow as well. Backcountry touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Wet avalanches as day progresses

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation medium-sized to large wet avalanches are to be expected, in particular on north facing slopes below approximately 2400 m, as well as on east, south and west facing slopes in all altitude zones. Backcountry tours should be concluded timely.
