Wet and gliding avalanches are possible due to strong warming
Moderate avalanche danger in the Fatras, 2nd degree. Wet snow is the defining avalanche problem. Avalanche release is possible especially with high additional loads, but spontaneous wet avalanches on steep slopes are also expected. Gliding avalanches may also occur on grassy slopes.
As a result of the strong warming (the 0°C isotherm rises up to 2400 m above sea level), the snow cover is wet, often in the entire profile. Wind-exposed ridges are often blown onto hard, even icy surfaces. Continuous snow cover is found from 1100 (1200 m) above sea level, reaching 50 to 150 cm above the tree line
