Snow condition

2 von 5 Sterne

When you drive into the valley, you think you're going hiking up to les Arcs. In Tignes and Val d'Isere around 2000 m it looks better, but still poor for the time of year. Conditions on the slopes are ok as far as the valley. Off-piste there is still a great danger of sharks and the end of February is a tragedy

Snow quality

2 von 5 Sterne

In the north sector still plowing up the powder quite nicely. It was really bad on the south side and it got soft quickly at the bottom due to the sun today

Risks

Old loose snow slides are snowed in. A more recent slab avalanche in the rocky area which was probably blown up. Same exposure as the avalanche accident here a few weeks ago, only slightly higher but similarly blown in.

Overall impression

3 von 5 Sterne

Great weather, and a good opportunity to try out a few classics in Val d'Isere and Tignes in relatively safe conditions. Change in the weather from tomorrow, fresh snow, base in the larches is largely sufficient. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it won't be as windy as announced, then the week might be quite interesting

Note on Conditions Reports

The ConditionsReports are user-generated content - from freeriders for freeriders! Recently, a distinction has been made between MiniReport, which offers a quick status report with location, image/video and text, and ProReport, which requires more detailed information and can be uploaded by advanced users.

Every registered user can enter the MiniReport in the WebApp, iOS app or Android app. If you would also like to upload ProReports, please write to us at conditionsreporter@powderguide.com so that we can activate it for you and briefly explain it to you!
If you need help with the operation or have suggestions for improvement, please write to us at app@powderguide.com!
