Generally favourable avalanche situation

In the Fatras and the eastern part of the Low Tatras there is only a SMALL avalanche danger (1st degree of the 5-part scale). The snow cover is stabilized, the occurrence of spontaneous avalanches is not expected. On isolated steep slopes, where there is more wind-blown dry snow, smaller avalanches are possible, especially with large additional loads.

Snow from the last snowfall period has been blown by strong winds into the valleys, the windward sides and ridges are often blown down to the grassy base or old snow. At most elevations, a crust or layer of hard firn has formed on the surface of the snow cover, with new snow accumulating in places. The overall snow cover is still well below average.
