Due to warming, the main avalanche problem is WET SNOW.
Moderate avalanche danger in the high altitudes of the High, Western and Low Tatras, 2nd degree. Small to medium-sized spontaneous avalanches from wet snow may occur on steep slopes during the day as the weather warms up. Hard snow slabs and pillows are present on north slopes, in couloirs, under saddles and rock faces, which may release an avalanche with a large additional load.
The snow cover is very heterogeneous due to variable precipitation, which is snow only at altitudes above 1800-2000 m above sea level. Below this line the snow is moist to wet, above it new snow is slightly increasing. Overall, however, only 5 to 10 cm. On the northern slopes at high altitudes (above 2000 m), snow slabs and pillows of varying hardness continue to occur. At altitudes up to 1500 m there is only patchy snow cover.
