Watch out for locally winding snow slabs and pillows. On sunlit slopes wet run-off.
From the recent light snowfall, locally in some, mainly shaded areas, there may be snow slabs or cushions lying on top of older hard to icy ground and not sufficiently well bonded to it. Exceptionally, small drifts can be expected that end in terrain traps with protruding rocks. Due to the warm inversion weather and the sun, spontaneous small wet runs may occur on the southern slopes.
Snowpack
Snow cover is melted in most of the area. Predominantly hard supporting crust. Water ice in valleys and on access paths. On average, there is between 15 and 25 cm of snow in the mountains. Mostly in the Orava Beskydy Mountains, where locally up to 50 cm of snow can be found. No significant change is expected in the next few days.
