Due to warming and rain, the main avalanche problem is WET SNOW.
Moderate avalanche danger (2nd degree) is declared in the high altitudes of the High, Western and Low Tatras. The arrival of rainfall will cause a decrease in the stability of the snow cover up to an altitude of about 2000 m above sea level. Above this level it will mainly snow. However, the amount of precipitation will be only up to 10 mm. Small avalanches and drifts of wet snow may occur. At high altitudes, in couloirs, under saddles and rock faces, there are still snow slabs and pillows on the northern, shady slopes, which can mean avalanche release with a large additional load. However, there are very few such locations.
Snowpack
A typical spring situation prevails. The snow will be wet due to rain up to 2000 m above sea level. At high altitudes (above 2000 m), dry snow will continue to occur in the northern shaded areas. At altitudes up to 1500 m there is only patchy snow cover.
