Avalanche danger in the Low Tatras and Fatras is only LOW (1st level). The occurrence of avalanches is generally not expected. Smaller avalanches can only be released locally on steep slopes and with large additional loads - especially on northern slopes if there is newer snow on them. On southern, sunlit slopes, sluffs and small avalanches from wet snow may also occur during the day.
The snow cover froze and stabilised due to the previous significant temperature change. Newer snow is generally only found at altitudes above 1800 m above sea level and even here it is very irregularly distributed. Strong winds, which changed direction, transported it to leeward places and created snow slabs and pillows. On the sunlit slopes, the surface of the snow cover temporarily softens during midday. Snow cover is well below average at elevations up to 1200 m above sea level.
