Avalanche Activity

Watch out for wet snow on south orientations.

In the Fatras and in the eastern part of the Low Tatras a low avalanche danger (1st degree) is declared above the forest zone. Due to warming and subsequent night freezing, the situation is stabilizing. The main problem is wet snow, but the melting will not be as significant as in the previous days. The current situation on the ground is recognizable - watch out for a larger layer of melted snow, but also avoid places where blown snow from the last snowfall is evident and did not fall with the avalanche in the previous days.

Snowpack Structure

The weather during Wednesday will still be influenced by high pressure, but we expect increasing clouds. It will continue to be very warm, with temperatures reaching positive numbers even at the highest elevations. Snow will harden overnight and then soften again during the day. However, the softening due to sunshine will not be as pronounced as on previous days due to cloud cover. The snow cover is well below average.
