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. 10-20 cm of new snow fell above the forest border during the last snowfall (total for the week), which is lying on hard ground and is not sufficiently connected with it. 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

After the previous warm period and the subsequent cooling, the snow cover is mostly frozen and stabilized, with new, mostly dry snow up to 15 cm. On the southern slopes a crust is forming on the surface due to the sun. 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 gradual warming and precipitation INCREASING. fk
