Watch out for weak layers on northerly orientations.
Moderate avalanche danger (2nd degree) is declared in the high altitudes of the High Tatras. The danger is concentrated on the northern and shady orientations on the northern side of the mountain. Avalanche release is possible on very steep slopes. Deeper in the profile there is a weak layer of dangerous faceted snow. At altitudes below 1700 m the snow was soaked early last week and therefore hardened and stabilized due to the cooling.
Snowpack
Up to 15 cm of new snow gradually fell during the working week. The snowfall was accompanied by very strong southerly winds of gale force. The wind deposited new snow on leeward places, in the gutters of northern orientations and under rock walls. Under the new snow there is a crust of older snow. In places, however, there is also square-grained snow, but this is deeper in profile.
Tendency
