Avalanche Activity

Generally favourable situation

LOW (1st degree) avalanche danger applies to most of the mountain area of Slovakia. On hard firn base there will be locally snow slabs and pillows not connected to the base. Small avalanches may be released mainly on steep slopes, mainly under high additional loads.

Snowpack Structure

The old firn snow is hard in the morning, bearing on southern, sunlit, orientations softens during the day. In the northern sector it breaks into softer layers. Up to 5 cm of snow fell in the last period, accompanied by fresh winds. Locally, snow slabs and pillows have formed on hard ground, which are not sufficiently bonded to the subsoil.

Tendency

Gradually the new snow is falling
