Watch out for more new snow on steep slopes and in gullies!
Due to intense snowfall, a moderate avalanche danger, level 2, has been created in this region (MF, ZT, VT). Avalanche release is possible on steep slopes, especially with higher additional loads. Occasional smaller spontaneous avalanches from new snow are possible.
Snowpack
During the coming snowfall, 15 to 25 cm of new snow is expected, locally even more. The new dry snow will be insufficiently bonded to the old snow cover when it cools and therefore prone to avalanche. In the highest parts of the Tatra Mountains on the northern slopes, a persistently weak layer in the snow cover remains a problem, which will be accentuated by the new snow (which means additional load).

Due to the advancing snowfall, a moderate avalanche danger, level 2, will develop in this region (VF, NT and Lučanská MF) in the afternoon. Avalanche release is possible on steep slopes, especially with higher additional loads. Occasional smaller spontaneous avalanches from new snow are possible.
Snowpack
The snowfall, mainly affecting the northwest and west of Slovakia, will gradually spread to these mountain ranges as well, with a total of 10 to 20 cm of new snow expected to fall. The new dry snow will be insufficiently bonded to the old snow cover as it cools.

In the eastern part of the Low Tatras there remains only a small avalanche danger, 1.degree
Avalanche release is unlikely except on very steep slopes.
Snowpack
More intense snowfall is not expected in this part of the mountains, with only 5 to 10 cm of new snow in total with relatively light winds. Depending on the orientation, the boundary of continuous snow cover varies from 1300 to 1500 m above sea level.
