Avalanche Activity

The avalanche danger is only local, on steep places with wind-drifted snow.

There is only a SMALL avalanche danger in the Fatras and in the Kralovohoľa part of the Low Tatras, 1st degree. In these mountain ranges and in the forest zone in general, snow is scarce and mostly does not pose a significant avalanche danger. Very locally, larger amounts of snow may be piled up, especially in couloirs, couloirs and terrain depressions. Smaller avalanches are possible in such steep places.

Snowpack Structure

Snow cover is below average in these mountains. Loose powder snow predominates, or very locally there may be a larger amount of snow or wind-blown slabs. Such places are very few and easy to read in the terrain.
