Avalanche Activity

Watch out for local places with more snow-drifted snow!

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 greater additional load. Spontaneous avalanches are not expected.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover is relatively stable, except in places with-drifted snow, after yesterday's warming and subsequent cooling it mostly froze. There is an unevenly distributed layer of dry snow on the surface from the overnight snowfall. The total snow depth varies from 30 to 80 cm

Tendency

Persistent
