Avalanche Activity

Locally, places with more windslab snow can be a problem.

MODERATE avalanche danger in the Fatras and the eastern part of the Low Tatras concerns mainly the highest positions, above the forest zone. It is localized to places where a larger amount of new snow has fallen - under ridges and in steep troughs, especially in SE orientation. Here it is possible to release a slab avalanche with high additional load. Spontaneous avalanches are not expected.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover is relatively stable, except in places with blown snow, after the previous warming and subsequent cooling it mostly froze. On its surface there is an unevenly distributed layer of dry snow from the last snowfall. The total snow depth varies from 30 to 80 cm.

Tendency

Persistent
