The new light snow has not adhered well to the old snow base. With moderate to strong north-easterly winds, numerous patches formed. Above the forest line in the Snežnik area, a snow avalanche can be triggered with even a small load. Spontaneous avalanches are also possible.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Up to 50 cm of dry and light snow has fallen in recent days.
At the same time, moderate to strong winds have been blowing, carrying the snow and creating drifts and drifts. The snowpack is markedly uneven. There is a lot of blowing snow, especially on the leeward slopes.
Tendency
The cold weather will not change the situation much.

Places with blowing snow are more dangerous
Places with blowing snow are particularly dangerous, as even a small load can trigger a small to medium-sized avalanche. Places where fresh snow has fallen on hard and icy ground are particularly dangerous.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
A total of 10 to 20 cm of light, dry snow has fallen in recent days, carried by a strong northeasterly wind on exposed slopes. New fallen snow has fallen on hard and icy ground and is therefore quite unstable. Particularly in places with blown snow, there is a greater danger of triggering an avalanche of packed snow.
Tendency
The cold will not change the situation much. In the high alpine regions, the wind will still carry light snow.

More amount of new snow with wind.
The new light snow has not adhered well to the old snow base. In moderate to strong north-easterly winds, slush is forming.

Up to 50 cm of dry and light snow has fallen in recent days.
At the same time, there has been a moderate wind, which has carried the snow and built up drifts and drifts. The snowpack is markedly uneven. There is a lot of blowing snow, especially on the leeward slopes.
