Avalanche Activity

Beware of very steep slopes with wet snow in connection with terrain traps.

In the eastern part of the Low Tatras and in Krivanská Mala Fatra there is only a SMALL avalanche danger (1st degree). The avalanche problem is wet snow in all orientations. In narrow couloirs and under rock walls locally there may be a large amount of new snow. Its release is possible with large additional loads on very steep slopes. Smaller spontaneous avalanches of wet snow may also occur as the day warms up.

Snowpack Structure

During the last snowfall period, between 5 and 20 cm of new snow fell at the highest altitudes. However, it is unevenly distributed due to the previous strong winds. During the day, as the weather warms up, the snow cover will be wet and its total height will decrease at altitudes up to 1500 m above sea level.

Tendency

persistent during the day
