Due to intense snowfall (1-2 days) and strong winds, a moderate avalanche danger, 2nd degree, was created in the highest altitudes of the Fatras and the eastern part of the Low Tatras. Avalanche release is possible on steep slopes, especially at higher additional loads. Occasionally, smaller spontaneous avalanches from new wet snow are possible.
Between 10 and 20 cm of new snow fell on Thursday and Friday. The new snow is transported by strong winds (Friday) to the leeward slopes, into couloirs and under saddles, mainly in the south, southeast and southwest orientations, where it created unstable snow slabs, pillows and overhangs. On south-facing, sunlit slopes the snow softens during the day and can form small spontaneous avalanches of wet snow,
Persistent.
