In the Fatras, High and Western Tatras there is from 30 - 60 cm of snow. The avalanche danger is very local and located rather on steep troughs, gullies and places where the slope changes sharply. The greatest risk is posed by terrain traps at the end of slopes or by protruding rocks.
There are two distinct layers in the snow cover. Old frozen snow forms the base. The second layer is new snow from the last snowfall, in most places blown into a hard slab. These layers are gradually stabilised by planting.
