Avalanche Activity

Beware of avalanches from wet snow.

In the Fatras, rain is expected throughout the mountains. The snow will therefore become wet and heavy. In the northern sectors, where powder snow has been maintained, the strength in the snow cover is expected to decrease and small and medium-sized avalanches are likely to fall.

Snowpack Structure

The snow cover is mainly on the southern orientations, packed and blown into a snow slab. In the northern sector, on the other hand, the powder snow will become wetter and heavier. In the forest zone, the snow will be wet and gradually decrease in height.

Tendency

Due to warming and rain rising.
