Very dry overall here in the Western Alps. The ice is coming out over a large area on the glacier near Tignes / Grand Motte. Much has been blown away by the wind. At 3400m whole flanks are bare. Absolutely below average for March

Hard snow surface on the east side should be treated with caution in the morning as soon as there is a risk of falling! No fresh signs of avalanches far and wide.

Good conditions for steep walls. The north side is still quite good. In the Val d'Isere ski area, there is only good snow on the north side and on the steep side.

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!
