Travel & Terrain advice:
This is just mock text: Be aware of navigational issues with low visibility, particularly in the alpine. Avalanche hazard – storm slab/wind slab - on lee slopes in alpine (SE aspect), avoid convexities and slopes over 25 degrees. Below treeline be aware of obstacles due to shallow snowpack.
