Chanrossa Avalanche Pic. Off Piste Risk remains 4/5 HIGH
More evidence of the instability of the snow pack now warmer temperatures are starting to hit. Huge slides on Saulire, Chanrossa and the Creux area are visible and a massive one on the Meribel side too. Many of these are controlled and have been set off by the Pisteurs when the areas are closed off however to maintain piste safety.
Always obey closed piste signs (and road closures too) they are there for a reason. Local off piste avalanche risk in the Courchevel Valley remains at 4 out of 5 (HIGH) in all areas with 85% of pistes remaining open in mid April – must be some kind of record.
Temperatures set to peak at 25°C at resort level next week but there’s a chance of snow on Friday night! Honest.
