Avalanche Activity

Watch out for wet snow when it warms up during the day!

Avalanche release is only possible at the highest altitudes of the Fatra Mountains on very steep slopes with higher additional loads. Occasionally, smaller spontaneous avalanches from newer wet snow are possible.

Snowpack Structure

During the last snowfall (Thursday-Friday) 10-20 cm of new snow fell, but it has largely melted. More snow remained at the highest altitudes, especially in the couloirs and under the saddles of the south, southeast and southwest orientations. On the southern, sunlit slopes the snow will soften considerably during the day.
