WEATHER AND AVALANCHE HAZARD DURING THE SEASON<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


On December 1, 2021, the Avalanche Prevention Center (Stredisko lav\u00ednovej prevencie) began regularly issuing avalanche bulletin. Almost exactly on this day, the first heavy snowfall came to Slovak mountains. Overall though, the amount of snow in our mountains was below average in early December. In locations, where snow fell on the grassy surface (Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Fatra, Mal\u00e1 Fatra and N\u00edzke Tatry) it was possible to ski (with some limitations). On the contrary, in the area of Z\u00e1padn\u00e9 Tatry and the Vysok\u00e9 Tatry, 40 cm of snow was not enough for skiing on the stony slopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the snow conditions for the ski mountaineering were the most favourable in Ve\u013ek\u00e1 Fatra, the first avalanche accident happened there. This accident is analysed more precisely in the following blog: https:\/\/blog.laviny.sk\/?p=8462<\/a> (Slovak language). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During December, the snow layer gradually increased and with some limitations it was already possible to do ski mountaneering trips in other mountain areas as well. Another accident occurred in the area of Vysok\u00e9 Tatry just before Christmas. Fortunately, it ended up without any injuries. You can watch the course of the accident in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
