Avalanche Activity

Occasionally, small glides may occur.

In the Fatra Mountains, tomorrow's warming temperatures, which will also bring with them rain, have created an avalanche problem of wet snow. The snow cover will thus become wet throughout the whole profile and small foundation avalanches may occur sporadically. Especially in places with lower snow cover.

Snowpack Structure

In the Fatras there is a total of 10 to 30 cm of snow. The ridges are blown into the hard ground. At lower altitudes below 1300 m there is no continuous snow cover yet. Tomorrow's warmer temperatures will cause the snow cover to become soaked throughout the whole profile and will break through to the hard ground. On the leeward sides there may be occasional wind-beaten slabs.

Tendency

During the day the avalanche situation will stabilise slightly due to warming.
