Snow Stability

### LAST BULLETIN OF THE SEASON - RARE WET SNOW AVALANCHES ON HIGH-ALTITUDE NORTH FACES

Typical Avalanche Situation

Wet Snow / Rain / Temperature Problem

Wet Snow / Rain / Temperature Problem

Warming or rain weakens the snowpack, leading to wet-snow avalanches.

LAST BULLETIN OF THE SEASON - RARE WET SNOW AVALANCHES ON HIGH-ALTITUDE NORTH FACES

Skier-triggered avalanches: Above 3300/3500m, a skier late in the day could trigger a small wet snow avalanche. A rare wind slab may persist on the highest cold-facing slopes. Small avalanches (size 1), rarely medium (size 2). At lower altitudes, the snowpack is very stable. Natural avalanches: unlikely, as the rain or snow showers at the end of the day are too weak to generate natural activity.

Snow Quality

Snow Cover

  • Deficient snow cover due to a particularly warm and dry spring. Snow depths observed: 130 cm at the Écrins snow station at 2970m. Skiable snowline: from 2600m in the snowiest areas, locally 2400m. On foot, snow patches are still numerous from 2100/2200m on north-facing slopes, much lower in avalanche deposits. Surface snow condition: snowpack is completely wet, except on north-facing slopes above 3300/3500m, where Thursday evening's snowfall brought 10-20 cm in the heart of the massif.

Weather Forecast

Summer weather with a slight risk of showers. 18°C at 2000m and 9°C at 3000m in the afternoon.
