Avalanche Activity

Beware of very steep slopes with new snow in connection with terrain traps.

In the eastern part of the Low Tatras and in Krivanská Mala Fatra there is only a SMALL avalanche danger (1st degree). The avalanche problem is NEW SNOW in all orientations. In narrow couloirs and under rock walls locally there may be a large amount of new snow. Its release is possible with large additional loads on very steep slopes. Smaller spontaneous avalanches of wet snow may also occur as the day warms up.

Snowpack Structure

During the last snowfall period, between 5 and 20 cm of new snow fell at the highest altitudes. However, it is unevenly distributed due to the previous strong winds. The windward sides of the mountains are hard and icy, with localised slabs of wind-blown snow on the leeward sides of the highest altitudes. During the day, when the weather warms up and the sun shines, the snow cover will be wet.

Tendency

slightly rising as the day warms up. FK
