Avalanche Activity

Beware of wet and gliding avalanches on steep slopes.

In the Fatras and the eastern part of the Low Tatras it persists above the 1200 m above sea level. MODERATE avalanche danger, 2nd degree. Wet snow is the defining avalanche problem. Avalanche release is possible especially with large additional loads, but spontaneous wet avalanches are also expected on very steep slopes. Sliding (foundation) avalanches may also occur on grassy slopes throughout the day.

Snowpack Structure

The strong warming continues, with rainfall occurring at all altitudes. Snow cover is wet, especially in the afternoon, often throughout the profile. Continuous snow cover is found from an altitude of 1200 m above sea level and reaches a height of 40 to 140 cm above the tree line. Wind-exposed areas and ridges are blown into the grassy base in places.

Tendency

Inreasing during the day when it gets warmer Compiled by Filip Kyzek
