Avalanche Activity

Avalanche release is possible only sporadically on very steep slopes.

In the Fatras and the eastern part of the Low Tatras there is still a small avalanche danger, 1.degree. Up to 10 cm of new snow has fallen above the forest border, which lies on hard ground and is not sufficiently well connected. Warming continues. The 0°C isotherm has risen to the highest altitudes causing the snow to soften. Smaller avalanches can only be released exceptionally, and only on steep and very steep slopes; their risk is of pushing a person into exposed terrain.

Snowpack Structure

The older snow cover is mostly well consolidated and settled. The snow is wet and damp due to high temperatures. The overall snow cover is well below average, mostly less than 50 cm. In gullies and moguls, in isolated places even more, on the ridge there are wind-driven overhangs.

Tendency

With cooling decreasing.
