Does anyone know the current snow conditions on Triglav?

Slightly strange post as in Kranjska Gora at the moment, but finding it difficult to find details of snow conditions on the Tominskova and Prag routes up Triglav. Managed both the Mala Mojstrovka (via the Hanzova pot) and Prisank this week without crampons or axes but did cross small snow fields and could see larger snow pack over on Triglav.

Any info greatly received.

As of Tuesday there was quite a lot still up there, and not all the huts were open. I was hoping to do the Bamburg on Thursday, but something came up and I had to head home early

The lady in reception at Aljazev Dom can give you some good info on conditions.

The route through the front window on Prisank stil had quite a lot of snow (and some broken cables) on Saturday. Fun!

Thanks - will try for info at the Aljavez dom.

Kudos for going through the window on Prisank...We could see the snow so opted to walk up to the window from the other side.

Sorry you missed out on the Bamberg

Hope you get up there. IIRC the Prag looked like the most promising VF route for snow avoidance.

I took this pic on Tuesday evening. I doubt it has changed much: http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.php?id=242909

No pics from high unfortunately, although I was up on Skrlatica a couple of hours earlier. It was a bit claggy and only cleared in the evening.
