Moderate avalanche danger in the high altitudes of Tatras and Low Tatras, 2nd degree
Due to snowfall and previous winds, new snow is distributed irregularly, so it is possible to release an avalanche in places where a larger amount is piled up. Occasionally, smaller spontaneous avalanches from new snow are possible. Generally, places where there is older frozen snow under the new snow, or in places with a smoother surface - grass or rock slabs - are more dangerous.
Snowpack
During the last snowfall (3 days on and off), 20 to 45 cm of new snow fell on the mountains, with the least in the west and the most in the eastern and central mountains. The snowfall was accompanied by fresh to strong winds with variable direction over the forest belt. Older, frozen snow was found under the new snow from about 1800 m above sea level, especially on the northern slopes of the Tatra Mountains. At lower altitudes, the new snow fell mostly on grass or bedrock.
