Mostly favourable situation, watch out for wet snow on steep slopes.

In the high altitudes of the Western, High Tatras and Low Tatras (above 1700 m above sea level) there is a SMALL avalanche danger, 1st degree. Due to rain and warming, the main avalanche problem is wet snow. Steep slopes, couloirs, and leeward places of the highest altitudes, where a larger amount of snow is concentrated, are dangerous. Here it is possible to release an avalanche, especially with a larger additional load, but spontaneous avalanches and small avalanches from wet snow can also occur.

Snowpack

The snow cover is wet due to the strong warming and rain at all altitudes and often throughout the entire profile down to the base. Continuous snow cover is found from 1700 - 1900 m above sea level (depending on orientation), with the most of it in terrain depressions, in troughs and in the ends of the Tatra valleys.
