Avalanche Activity

Occasional wet avalanches possible on very steep slopes.

In the area of Mala Fatra and the eastern part of the Low Tatras there is only a SMALL avalanche danger (1). 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. With warming temperatures and strong sunlight during the day, the snow gets wet and becomes distinctly wet. A continuous snow cover is found in Mala Fatra from about 1300 m above sea level, in the Low Tatras from 1500 m above sea level.

Tendency

Rising as the day warms up. FK
