Avalanche Activity

Watch out for wet snow.

In Veľká and Mala Fatra and in the eastern part of the Low Tatras, the 1st degree, SMALL avalanche danger has been declared. Snow cover is generally packed. The main avalanche problem is wet snow from the last period of heavy rain. Locally, small avalanches or slides from wet snow may occur. Mainly in very steep terrain. Possibly foundation avalanches on grassy ground.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover up to an altitude of 1600m above sea level is very disjointed and strongly oriented to the northern slopes. The entire snow profile is wet to the ground. During rainfall there may be waterlogging of the subsoil, where the grassy subsoil will form a slippery layer for possible avalanches.

Tendency

Stabilising due to slight cooling.
