Avalanche Activity

Wet and foundation avalanches especially in the afternoon.

In the Fatras, the avalanche situation is strongly linked to the air temperature. In the morning, the snow will be hard packed and hard, in the afternoon, due to warming, it is expected that the snow will become wet and that wet, grassy slopes will form base avalanches in all orientations.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover in the Fatras is bound only to the ridge parts. In the forests it is partially disconnected. Due to the night cooling, it is hard and sooty in the morning and damp and wet in the afternoon.

Tendency

Due to the warming effect rising.
