West Sibillini Mountains

Moist snow slides and avalanches are possible in isolated cases.

Moist snow slides and avalanches are possible in isolated cases.

Individual mostly small wet snow slides and avalanches are possible above approximately 1900 m. In gullies and bowls and on steep sunny slopes the danger of moist and wet avalanches is a little higher. This applies in particular on east, south and west facing slopes.

Below approximately 1800 m only a little snow is lying. The snowpack is largely stable and its surface has a crust that is strong in many cases. The fresh and older wind slabs are to be found especially in gullies and bowls and at high altitudes. The weather conditions will foster a slight rise in the danger of moist and wet avalanches from midday in particular on steep sunny slopes.

As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation the prevalence and size of the avalanche prone locations will increase on Sunday.
