Moderate avalanche danger (2nd degree) in the higher altitudes of the Low Tatras and the Tatras. New snow is transported by wind to the leeward slopes, where it forms snow slabs and pillows. These are critical to release, especially with higher additional loads on steep slopes. In isolated cases, smaller spontaneous avalanches may also occur.
Snowpack
Snow cover is above average for the time of year, especially at higher elevations above the forest belt. 20-30 cm of new snow has fallen in recent days. The snow is mostly dry and loose, with less stable snow slabs, pillows and drifts at high altitudes in wind-exposed areas.
Tendency
During the day, the situation will remain unchanged.

Treeline
Overall stable situation, avalanche danger is only local.
There is only a SMALL avalanche danger in the Fatras and in the Kraljehoľa part of the Low Tatras, 1st degree. In these mountains and in the forest zone in general, there is little snow and mostly it does not pose a significant avalanche danger. Very locally, larger amounts of snow may be piled up, especially in couloirs and terrain depressions
Snowpack
Snow cover is below average in these mountains. Loose powder snow predominates, or very locally there may be a larger amount of snow or wind-blown slabs. Such places are very few and easy to read in the terrain.
