Snow report Belledonne, 12/12/2018
Nachtskitour durch die Wälder von Chamrousse
Belledonne
Snow condition
Snow quality
Overall impression
Snow condition
Two weeks ago there was even less ground contact. Record amounts have not arrived here and the base has suffered somewhat. Nevertheless, you can start at just under 1700 m in the forest. Around 2000 m it is really sufficient and in grassy mountains and hollows you don't have to worry. Medium rocks are still quite uncovered and stony
Snow quality
In the forest somewhat more sheltered and still powdery in places, approx. 15 cm deep to the base. Otherwise mostly crusty and harsh. Overall pretty changeable...had expected more
Risks
No signs of avalanches observed as I was only out and about in the forest and on the slopes. However, the wind was definitely present and certainly caused avalanches in the middle and upper altitudes. Below 2000 m there was little to be felt.
Overall impression
Nice excursion. But for serious tours with dusty fresh snow, you have to go even higher and you'll certainly find what you're looking for on the north side.
