Snow quality

Qualification de l'enneigement : suite aux récentes chutes de neige, l'enneigement correct pour un début novembre. On relève par exemple 10 cm sous le col de l'Izoard à 2280 m en versant nord, 22 cm au-dessus de Saint-Véran à 2700 m, 37 cm à la Nivôse italienne du col Agnel (2685 m). Limite de l'enneigement skiable : la pratique du ski est localement envisageable au-dessus de 2600/2800 m, voir un peu plus bas en versant nord. Les cailloux restent toutefois peu enfouis.État de la neige de surface : neige souvent humidifiée par la pluie jusqu'à 2800 m. À plus haute altitude, on retrouve une couche de 30 à 40 cm de neige fraîche travaillée par le vent.
2/5
Risk level

Au-dessus de 2800m indice de risque limité, plus bas indice faible.

Stability: QUELQUES INSTABILITÉS À HAUTE ALTITUDE

Déclenchements provoqués : quelques plaques sont en place en large secteur nord à partir de 2800 m, encore déclenchables au passage d'un skieur. Ces plaques peuvent engendrer des avalanches de taille petite voir moyenne dans les combes de haute altitude. Plus bas, le manteau neigeux est peu épais et bien humidifié. Départs spontanés : peu probables.
