Nízke Tatry - západ

On the northern slopes of the Low Tatras beware of unstable wind-blown snow slabs.

On the northern slopes of the Low Tatras beware of unstable wind-blown snow slabs.

Increased avalanche danger is bound to higher positions of the Low Tatras. Unstable snow slabs and pillows blown by the south wind are located on the north facing slopes of the Low Tatras. Dangerous places are located at higher altitudes just below the ridge. Avalanche release is possible with only a small additional load. Occasionally, medium-sized spontaneous avalanches may occur.

Dry wind-blown snow in the form of slabs and pillows can be found only at the highest altitudes of the Tatras. The snow is very unevenly distributed, some places are blown down to the hard, icy, old snow base. On others, on the contrary, a larger amount of snow is blown by the wind. The wind-blown snow is deposited on a hard base
