Watch out for wet avalanches when it warms up during the day!
Moderate avalanche danger (2) persists at altitudes above 1700 m above sea level. Wet snow on sunlit slopes is becoming a major problem due to the strong warming. Avalanche release is possible especially with high additional loads, but spontaneous avalanches from wet snow are also expected to occur. On shady slopes in the high Tatra Mountains, snowslabs occurs locally. Avalanche release is also possible here with higher additional loads.
The snow cover is slightly frozen in the morning, but due to the strong sunlight it quickly turns damp to wet. On the surface there is newer snow from the last snowfall, under which there is usually old firn snow. At the highest altitudes of the Tatras, drier slab snow occurs locally on shady slopes. Depending on the orientation, the continuous snow cover can be found from about 1500 m above sea level
