Avalanche Activity

Watch out for localised, wind-wound boards and cushions.

In the eastern part of the Low Tatras at altitudes above 1700 m above sea level there is a low avalanche danger (1st degree). Locally, snow slabs and pillows from the last snowfall can be found on the leeward sides - especially under saddles, rock walls, in moguls and steep couloirs.

Snowpack Structure

The cold sector will alternate with the passage of a warm front, it will still be very cold in the morning, but it will gradually warm up. Very strong winds are expected to continue, reaching speeds of over 25 m/s (90 km/h). Snow will be blown by strong north winds into the forest zone, but is also expected to be deposited on the leeward sides of saddle troughs and moguls. There is a settled layer of snow from the weekend snowfall on top of the old snowpack that has frozen. Strong winds will continue to deposit another layer of snow on top of it. A continuous snow cover is now only at the highest elevations.

Tendency
