Avalanche Activity

Watch out for localised, wind-slabs and pillows.

In the Low Tatras at altitudes above 1700 m above sea level there is a low avalanche danger (1st degree). Unstable snow slabs and pillows from the current snowfall occur locally - especially under saddles, rock walls, in moguls and steep couloirs.

Snowpack Structure

The weather and snow cover changed significantly after a period of warm weather due to a strong cooling. Winter conditions prevail in the mountains. Up to 10 cm of new snow will fall during the night from Saturday to Sunday + on Sunday, but accompanied by extremely strong winds of 25 m/s, gusting up to 35 m/s. Older snow will freeze to stone, and new snow of varying thickness will be on the surface - depending on wind and relief. At altitudes up to 1600 m above sea level, there is only patchy snow cover.

Tendency

Persistent
