Avalanche Activity

Watch out for wind-beaten slabs of new snow.

In Mala, Veľká Fatra and Low Tatras there is a low avalanche danger (1st degree) above the forest zone. Up to 10 cm of new snow will fall. The snow will be beaten by the wind into slabs and pillows of different hardness, which will be deposited on a very hard to icy base, while the two layers will be weakly interconnected with each other. Due to the overall low snow cover, only small avalanches may occur in isolated locations.

Snowpack Structure

The snow is very unevenly distributed due to the strong wind. The ridges are blown on hard ground. There are a few ice crusts in the snow cover, with square-grained snow underneath. The crusts are not load-bearing, so they break through when moving on foot. Movement off the beaten track is difficult. On average there is between 20 and 50 cm of snow in our mountains. The continuous snow cover is mostly above the forest belt.
