Favourable avalanche situation, hard conditions difficult to slip.

In the eastern part of the Low Tatras there is a low avalanche danger, i.e. 1st degree of the 5-part international scale. During the night and Wednesday, the edge of high air pressure will move into the mountains of Slovakia, which will bring cooling. Temperatures will drop back below freezing overnight, which will have a positive effect on the stability of the snow cover. The arrival of cold air will be accompanied by strong westerly winds, especially in the morning. Dangerous are extremely steep slopes ending in a terrain trap situated on the leeward side of the ridges. Spontaneous avalanches are not expected.

Unlike other mountain ranges, this region did not experience such significant snowfall totals during the last snowfall period. Only 15 cm of new snow fell in the eastern part of the Low Tatras during the last snowfall period (Friday-Sunday). Due to the subsequent warming, the snow cover lost its height significantly and then froze during the night due to the cooling. A crust formed at lower altitudes up to the level of the upper forest boundary, while a thick layer of ice formed at higher altitudes, especially on the ridges.

Declining due to cooling and the assumption of calming strong winds. Zostavil : Martin Buliak
