Avalanche Activity

Watch out for wet avalanches.

In Malá Fatra, a low avalanche danger (1st degree) is declared above the 1300 m above sea level.On Tuesday, up to 35 cm of new snow fell here. However, it has almost completely melted. The new snow has fallen on grassy ground or on old hard snow. These two layers have become well bonded over the last few days. But the problem will be warming, which will bring the risk of wet avalanches. In the event of a release, these will be small avalanches or avalanches.

Snowpack Structure

The snow from Tuesday is melting fast. Underneath, there are snow fields of old firn snow with a layer of Saharan dust on the surface. At altitudes below 1300 m, snow cover is only sporadic.
