Avalanche Activity

Watch out for more new, wind-drifted snow on steep slopes and in gullies!

Due to intense snowfall (1-2 days) a moderate avalanche danger, 2nd degree, has been created in the Low Tatras and Fatras. Avalanche release is possible on steep slopes, especially at higher additional loads. Occasionally, smaller spontaneous avalanches from new snow are possible.

Snowpack Structure

During Thursday and the following night, 10 to 20 cm of new snow is expected, locally even more. The new snow will be transported to the leeward slopes, into couloirs and under saddles, mainly in the south, southeast and southwest orientations, where it will form unstable snow slabs, cushions and overhangs. The new dry snow is insufficiently bonded to the old snow cover and is therefore susceptible to avalanche.

Tendency

Slightly rising in strong winds
