West Sibillini Mountains

New snow at high altitude.

New snow at high altitude.

As a consequence of new snow and wind individual mostly small avalanches are possible above approximately 1700 m. This applies especially in gullies and bowls, and behind abrupt changes in the terrain, as well as on very steep slopes.

The old snowpack remains subject to considerable local variations. At intermediate altitudes hardly any snow is lying. In high Alpine regions a little snow is lying. In gullies and bowls the wind slabs are larger. These are to be found especially at high altitude. Some fresh snow and the mostly small wind slabs will be deposited on a quite favourable old snowpack above approximately 1800 m.
