Avalanche Activity

Smaller avalanches from wet snow may occur locally.

In the highest altitudes of the eastern part of the Low Tatras (above 1700 m asl) there is a SMALL avalanche danger, 1st degree. Smaller avalanches can occur only on very steep slopes. Firstly, with greater additional loads, or smaller spontaneous avalanches and slides, especially with warming temperatures and sunshine in the midday hours.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover is mostly made up of new snow. Only at the highest altitudes and in troughs is there old firn snow under the new snow. Due to the strong warming and south wind, the snow has been wet since the morning. The boundary of the continuous snow cover is rising day by day, currently from about 1600 - 1700 m above sea level depending on the orientation.

Tendency

Slightly rising as the day warms up. FK
