Beware of avalanches from wet snow

The snow cover is generally firm due to the previous weather pattern. Only the relatively new snow from the last snowfall over the weekend is not firmly bonded to the old base. This layer from the last snowfall has been unevenly displaced by the wind onto slopes with predominantly easterly orientations. As a result of the warming, the upper layer of snow is melting, losing its cohesion. Light rain is also expected during Thursday, which will only increase the risk of wet avalanches.

Beware of avalanches from wet snow

In the Fatras and Low Tatras there is a small avalanche danger from melting wet snow. Due to warming, small avalanches can be expected on very steep slopes in all orientations, which may also be spontaneous. The danger is especially in connection with terrain traps.
