Danger description

The fresh snow and very particularly the wind slabs to be found adjacent to riddgelines can be released by a single winter sport participant at elevated altitudes. In many cases the avalanches are medium-sized. Ski touring calls for experience in the assessment of avalanche danger.

Wet avalanches

On very steep slopes moist snow slides and avalanches are possible.
