Avalanche Activity

Avalanche release is only possible on isolated, very steep slopes at the highest altitudes.

In Lúčanská Mala Fatra, Veľká Fatra and the eastern part of the Low Tatras there is still a small avalanche danger, 1st degree. Up to 10 new snow will fall above the forest border, falling on old hard ground. Smaller avalanches can be released only 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 positive temperatures, gradually hardening as it cools. The total snow cover is well below average, mostly less than 50 cm. In gullies and moguls and on isolated slopes locally even more.

Tendency

With the snowfall increasing. pk
