Avalanche Activity

Generally favourable avalanche situation, beware of isolated steep slopes with wet snow!

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 more snow is piled up, smaller avalanches are possible when it gets warmer during the day, especially with large additional loads.

Snowpack Structure

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. At most elevations, a crust or layer of hard firn has formed on the surface of the snow cover, with new wet snow accumulating in places. The overall snow cover is still well below average.

Tendency

with snowfall expected from Sunday to Monday, rising FK
