We determined the amount of the fall of snow, dust, and the average height of snow cover from 2008 to 2010. To determine the dust content in the snow cover the method of indicating the snowpack was chosen. As a result, snow surveys on the investigated area the average height of snow coverwas determined, and then samples of snow were taken to determine the amount of dust in the melt water and to calculate the amount of the fall of snow and dust kl/(m <sup>2</sup> time).
