Travel and Terrain Advice
Very dangerous avalanche conditions. Activities in mountain areas are not recommended. Even if the snowfall weakens, the danger level will not change much, because the interface between new and old snow needs some time to gain strength. Also, if strong winds are still present, the downwind side will be more dangerous. Even if you are inside the ski area, it is extremely important to comply with the areas that can be skied. When skiing in the fresh snow areas of the resort, make sure to ski with a companion.
