A lot of snow in the Tatras. Avalanche threat again


The first degree of avalanche danger means that the snow cover is usually well associated and stable. However, the liberation of an avalanche is possible with high additional load on very steep slopes. There is also the possibility of spontaneous descend of small and medium avalanches, which is an additional risk for tourists.

Typical winter conditions in the upper parts of the Tatra Mountains. In the area of ​​Kasprowy Wierch fell 30 cm of fresh snowand in the Valley of the Five Polish Ponds and the Gąsienicowa Valley about 20 cm. The low cloud ceiling further hinders visibility, which can lead to getting lost in the field.

Rescuers remind you that Moving in this part of the mountains requires experience in winter tourism and appropriate equipment, such as crayfish, ice ax and helmet. The ability to use this equipment is also important. The routes in the lower parts are wet and slippery, Especially on stones, and forest sections are muddy, which further hinders the journey.
