Wet snow

Watch out for wet snow as the day warms up!

In the High Tatras there is a moderate avalanche danger in the highest altitudes, 2nd degree. The avalanche problem is wind-blown snow from the last snowfall, especially on the northern side of the Tatras. Avalanche release is possible on steep slopes, especially with high additional loads. Wet snow is also becoming problematic during the day and will occur at all altitudes, but especially on the southern slopes.

Snowpack

The snow cover is relatively well stabilised by the change in air temperature in recent days. Dry snow can be found only at high altitudes on the shady and northern slopes of the Tatras. In the middle and, during the day, also at the highest altitudes, the frozen snow will change to wet snow. Continuous snow cover can be found at altitudes above 1400 - 1600 m above sea level, depending on the orientation.

Avalanche Problem

Wet snow

Watch out for wet snow!

There is a low avalanche danger in the Fatras and in the Low and Western Tatras (1st degree). Avalanche release from wet snow is possible at the highest altitudes only on very steep slopes with a large additional load. Occasionally, small spontaneous wet avalanches are possible in exposed terrain.

Snowpack

The warm weather has caused the newer snow from the last snowfall to melt almost completely and then freeze as it cooled. During the day, the snow cover on the sunlit slopes is wet and soft. In the Low Tatras there is continuous snow cover above 1300 m on the northern slopes and above 1600 m on the southern slopes. In the Fatras, a more continuous snow cover is found only on the eastern and northern slopes above the forest zone.
