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. During the last snowfall, up to 10 new snow fell above the forest border, which lies on hard ground and with which it is not sufficiently bonded. Smaller avalanches can only be released exceptionally, and only on steep to very steep slopes. Their risk is mainly posed by pushing a person into exposed terrain, possibly in combination with a terrain trap.

Snowpack Structure

The surface of the snow cover is moist to wet due to the positive temperatures. The overall snow cover is well below average, mostly below 50 cm. In gullies and moguls and on isolated slopes locally even more.

Tendency

With the snowfall increasing. pk
