In all mountain ranges except the west of the Low Tatras there is a moderate avalanche danger above 1300 m above sea level, i.e. 2nd degree. Up to 20 cm of new snow has been added to the hard old snow cover. The elevation of snowfall was about 700 m above sea level. The main problems are therefore new snow and wind-blown snow (southeast and east exposures). The leeward sides of the ridges and the steep troughs of the highest altitudes are dangerous, where the wind has deposited snow slabs and pillows during the day and created cornices.
The old snow cover in all mountain ranges has hardened and hardened due to temperature changes. A thick layer of ice has formed on its surface. Up to 20 cm of new snow has been added, which will be very unevenly distributed due to the wind. The large difference in hardness between the old snow cover and the new snow has caused instability in the snow profile.
