Avalanche Activity

Avalanche release is only possible on isolated, very steep slopes at the highest altitudes.

In the Fatras and the eastern part of the Low Tatras there is still a small avalanche danger, 1.degree. Above the forest border, 10-15 cm of new snow has fallen in recent days, which lies on hard ground and with which it is not sufficiently bonded. Smaller avalanches can only be released exceptionally, and only on steep and very steep slopes. Their risk is mainly posed by a person being swept into exposed terrain, possibly in conjunction with a terrain trap.

Snowpack Structure

After the previous warm period and the subsequent cooling, the snow cover is mostly frozen and stabilized, with new, mostly dry snow up to 15 cm. The total snow cover is well below average, mostly below 50 cm. In the gullies and moguls in isolated places even more, on the ridge there are overhangs due to the wind.
