Avalanche Activity

Increasing tendency during the day, watch out for more new snow on steep slopes and in troughs!

Due to the advancing snowfall, a moderate avalanche danger, level 2, will develop in this region (VF, NT and Lučanská MF) in the afternoon. Avalanche release is possible on steep slopes, especially with higher additional loads. Occasional smaller spontaneous avalanches from new snow are possible.

Snowpack Structure

The snowfall, mainly affecting the northwest and west of Slovakia, will gradually spread to these mountain ranges as well, with a total of 10 to 20 cm of new snow expected to fall. The new dry snow will be insufficiently bonded to the old snow cover as it cools.
