Back can ski under Komna to about 1200m then snow gone.. In hut very friendly staff and very tasty food, plus very playful young labrador guard dog.

...And nobody gets upset when pup's in the hut. Many places have sign outside that dogs not allowed in. Different people or different rules...

@zamet, thanks for the kind reply. I hope Perla will be just as friendly and cute as Tara the fetcher was.
@Majdag, I don't understand who would get upset about a dog in the hut? I mean on Komna.
It is true that dogs abroad are more welcome than here. They cause fewer complications and it's not always the caretakers (in our huts), but the visitors.

Not criticism; usually, whatever attitude we have towards animals, we usually have the same towards people

For many years I walked in the mountains with my little dog even in winter. The already rare huts open at that time never gave us shelter from the cold. The sign on the huts that Majda mentions is often stuck on the doors. We squeezed into some sheltered corner, ate our snack we had with us and went down to the valley. Where my dog wasn't welcome, I had no reason to go inside either. It is true that sometimes it would be better if some loud and arrogant mountaineer stayed in front of the hut rather than a well-bred dog.
The Dom in Tamar was a bright exception, we were always welcome there. How we then went lightly towards Planica after refreshing and quenching our thirst in the warmth
Now I go to the mountains without a dog since I don't have one anymore, and I still don't go to huts, they've kind of turned me off, I rarely enter any.
Slamca, I completely agree with your statement. Let no heated debate develop, there have already been too many on the topic of dogs and us dog owners.
Best regards to those who have dogs and those who don't

Irina, I didn't mean exactly Komna, in general. My Ira and I are always outside, precisely because of those signs. Even in my arms I wasn't allowed to have her, the caretaker said the regulations are like that, inspectors come and fines are too high. But I don't force it anymore, it seems the regulations aren't that strict. It's just the caretakers who don't like dogs in huts for whatever reasons, regards Majda

Hello!
Tomorrow we would like to go to Komna, but we're a bit worried about avalanche danger... What are your experiences, how dangerous is it? We've been to Komna several times in winter, but never so soon after such heavy snowfall. Such a nice day as tomorrow should be is a sin to waste in the valley
Thanks for any info!

An even greater sin is to stay forever somewhere in the snow under Komna.

OK, thanks everyone! It seemed so to me, but everyone always tells me I worry too much and I always decide better not and to be safe. Once after Christmas we wanted to go to Viševnik, but the avalanche report was such that I said better not, but in those days they were going up almost in a column... and for tomorrow they told me there's no problem on Komna, so I rather ask... Thanks and no hard feelings! We'll find something else, just to be outside!

The path to Komna goes through the forest, which often gives a false sense of security against avalanche, but I've never been as scared of it as here. It all happened on a search action, when at two in the morning four of us half an hour below the hut due to extreme avalanche danger stopped in place, crouched like chickens in the snow and shivering waited for day, to find a safer direction. Although probably already today Komna will be trampled, still...

Due to the high snow cover, which has almost zero stability, an even stronger thaw is expected over the weekend up to 1600-1700m. Therefore forest areas lower due to warming, as well as high feathery, blown unbonded snow in the high mountains will be very dangerous until it cools and freezes and on sunny days naturally reworks.

Tomorrow come to Lubnik, the path is safe and has no avalanches. From Šk. Loka you'll walk a good two hours, warm up in the hut and refresh.

Just a small correction, picture 3 is not picture of cable car station. Cable car brings practically to the hut. Nice weather was up there,
