Beware of wet avalanches on steep, sunlit slopes!
In the Low Tatras and Mala Fatra there is a MODERATE avalanche danger above the tree-line. On steep, sunlit slopes, small to medium-sized avalanches from wet snow are expected. Avalanche release is possible especially with higher additional loads, but spontaneous avalanches are also expected. The most critical are the southern and south-eastern steep slopes where wind-drifted snow from the last snowfall is deposited.
The snow cover is still dry and frozen in the morning, with crust on the surface on the southern slopes. During the day, the snow will become wetter due to the strong warming and will turn distinctly wet on the sunlit slopes. Snow from the last snowfall (20-40 cm) is mainly on the south, southeast and east slopes and lower down in the valleys. On the ridges the snow is blown onto the old, icy surface.
