Hi!
It's probably the combination of you two, which makes it hard to recommend something. And snow conditions vary in winter a lot. Tomorrow it will snow extensively. In such conditions you should at least have skis to ascend those 1500m of altitude to Kredarica hut. And there see if you can take a chance. If snow is hard enough you might try for example Slovenian route in the North face, which is UIAA II/III in summer. It all depends on conditions.
Cheers!

Wow, that's great news, Chris! Congratulations! I believe the conditions up there were not the best these times. Looking forward for some further information.
Cheers!
