Fabrianese Apennines

Fresh wind slabs on south, southeast and southwest facing slopes.

Fresh wind slabs on south, southeast and southwest facing slopes.

Adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and on steep southeast, south and southwest facing slopes individual avalanches are possible, but they will be mostly small. Avalanches can be released, mostly by large loads.

The snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations. The strong wind has transported some snow. In particular on southeast, south and southwest facing slopes sometimes deep wind slabs formed. The fresh wind slabs are to be found in particular in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. The gusty wind will transport the fresh and old snow. In addition wind slabs will form adjacent to ridgelines and in gullies and bowls and generally at high altitudes.
