Avalanche Activity

Beware of avalanches and sluffs from wet snow

In Mala Fatra and Low Tatras there is a small avalanche danger from melting wet snow. Due to warming, spontaneous small avalanches can be expected on very steep slopes. There is a danger for skiers or hikers especially in connection with terrain traps.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover is generally well consolidated due to the previous weather pattern. The layer of relatively new snow (10-20 cm) from the last snowfalls has been transported by the wind to the northern slopes, at the same time as this snow is being transformed by the heat into heavy felted snow, later firn snow, which is losing its cohesion as a result of thawing.

Tendency

Enduring. Compiled by: Ivan Chlebovec
