LAST BULLETIN OF THE SEASON

Typical Avalanche Situation

Wet Snow / Rain / Temperature Problem

Wet Snow / Rain / Temperature Problem

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

Avalanches Triggered by Skiers

  • Slide under skis in the wet surface snow. When cutting a steep slope, above 2700/2900m. Size 1.
  • Small wind slab still possible (but very rare). Very steep north-facing high mountain slopes, above 3200/3400m, some dry snow might persist. Watch for changes in snow quality over short distances.

Spontaneous Avalanches

  • Rare isolated and superficial releases (pear-shaped) in wet snow after warming. Mostly north/northeast-facing slopes above 2800/3000m. Size 1 (small).

Snow Quality

Snowpack and Coverage

  • Deficient snow cover for the season following the recent warm spell.

Skiable Limits

  • Around 2300/2400m on north aspects, 2800/3000m on south aspects on gentle slopes.

Snow Quality

  • Good refreeze, mostly hard snow at the start of the day. Surface warming is quite rapid, but limited by wind (crust).
  • On very steep north-facing high mountain slopes (e.g., Grande Casse north face), you might find some cold, wind-affected snow from the west wind.

Weather Forecast

Sun gradually veiled in the morning. Threatening in the afternoon, summits obscured and late stormy showers. Max +7°C at 3000m.
