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 square-grained snow. At altitudes below 1700 m the snow was soaked at the beginning of last week and therefore hardened and stabilised due to the cooling.
Snowpack
The snow cover is generally packed and hardened . With warming and subsequent cooling, the surface is hard, load-bearing, and in places crusted, which is breaking through. This hard surface has received between 3 and 5 cm of powdery snow, which is not bound to the hard layer. At the highest altitudes, the hard crust is followed by loose, square-grained snow, which is the most serious problem, especially in the northern sectors where the surface is not sufficiently load-bearing.
