Snow line over the coming days in Le col du Barioz

  • Monday, 4am to 11am: snow line around 1,500 m, rain at the base, snow higher up.

Snow line: the altitude above which precipitation falls as snow. It is computed hour by hour, during precipitation, from Météo-France temperature and humidity at altitude: it is the altitude where the wet-bulb temperature rises above 1.3°C (the same definition as the German weather service's snowfall line). Météo-France days only, not the longer-range outlook.

Snow quality

Qualification de l'enneigement : Enneigement déficitaire sur le massif. La saison peine à commencer, avec seulement de la neige aux très hautes altitudes. Le petit coup de pinceau récent au-dessus de 2000m fait effet de cache misère. Seules quelques pentes Nord sommitales sont skiables, avec précaution car la sous-couche est mince. Qualité de la neige : Petite couche de neige récente souvent soufflée ou légèrement croûtée en surface.
1/5
Risk level

Indice de risque faible.

Stability: FAIBLE ENNEIGEMENT SUR LE MASSIF, RISQUE FAIBLE

Départs provoqués : Dans les faces Nord sommitales (au-dessus de 2700 / 2800m), quelques instabilités de surface peuvent demeurer dans la neige récente, parfois travaillée par le vent. Elles deviennent plus dures à déclencher, et restent de petites tailles, les quantités de neige mobilisables étant faibles. Départs spontanés : Peu probables.
