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. On relève par exemple vers 2500 m 23 cm dans le vallon du Chardonnet, et 21 cm à la Nivôse du Galibier.Limite de l'enneigement skiable : la pratique du ski est très localement envisageable au dessus de 2600/2800 m, voir un peu plus bas en versant nord, si l'on accepte de rencontrer des cailloux. État de la neige de surface : neige souvent humidifiée par la pluie jusqu'à 2800 m. A plus haute altitude, on retrouve une couche de 20 à 30 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 présentes dans un large secteur nord au delà de 2800 m, encore déclenchables au passage d'un skieur. Avalanche généralement de petite taille mais pouvant destabiliser un pratiquant. Plus bas, le manteau neigeux est peu épais et bien humidifié. Départs spontanés : peu probables.
