Avalanche Activity

In the Fatras there is a low avalanche danger, i.e. the first degree of the 5-part international scale. Gradual warming and expected rainfall will cause the snow cover to become wet throughout the profile. Smaller avalanches from wet snow and small foundation avalanches may occur sporadically.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover in the Fatras ranges from 10 to 30 cm of snow. The ridges are blown into the hard ground. At lower altitudes below 1300 m above sea level, there is no continuous snow cover yet. Tomorrow's warmer temperatures will cause the snow cover to become wet throughout the whole profile and will break through to the subsoil.

Tendency

It persisted through Tuesday, and conditions are expected to cool and freeze and stabilize by Wednesday. Compiled by : Martin Buliak
