Snow line over the coming days in La Draye – Crots

  • Tomorrow, 1am to 2am: snow line around 1,500 m, snow down to the resort base.

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 : la pluie de jeudi aura eu raison de la neige sous 2500 m. Il n'y a plus de neige à la Nivôse du Parpaillon à 2545 m. Limite d'enneigement skiable : la pratique du ski est très localement envisageable en versant nord au dessus de 2600/2800 m, si l'on accepte de rencontrer des cailloux. État de la neige de surface : neige souvent humidifiée par la pluie jusqu'à 2800 m. Sur les plus hauts sommets, on peut retrouver 10/20 cm de neige fraîche ventée.
1/5
Risk level

Indice de risque faible.

Stability: PETITES INSTABILITÉS À HAUTE ALTITUDE

Déclenchements provoqués : rares petite plaques dans les pentes nord au delà de 2800 m, pouvant déstabiliser un pratiquant. Plus bas, le manteau neigeux est peu épais et bien humidifié. Départs spontanés : peu probables.
