Avalanche Activity

In the eastern part of the Low Tatras and in Krivanská Mala Fatra there is a low avalanche danger. The main avalanche problem is new snow. All orientations are dangerous. In narrow couloirs and under rock walls, locally there may be large amounts of new snow. Its release is possible with high additional loads on very steep slopes. Small avalanches are a particular danger in combination with terrain traps. Spontaneous avalanches are not expected.

Snowpack Structure

During the last snowfall period, between 5 and 10 cm of new snow fell at the highest elevations. However, this is very unevenly distributed due to strong winds. The windward sides of the mountains are hard and icy, and very locally there may be slabs of wind-blown snow on the leeward sides of the highest altitudes. Where snow has fallen without wind action there is loose powder snow. Most snow is found in northeast to east orientations. Continuous snow cover is found above 1600 m above sea level.
