Another week of changeable weather here and cooler temperatures with sunshine, cloud, a little rain and snow!. Those pisteurs have been maintaining and grooming the slopes fabulously to give us great ski conditions daily.
The lower slopes are holding up well, with most still open, although some connecting runs are starting to suffer. Higher up the snow remains plentiful and in good condition.
We’ve got typical spring conditions, tending to be icy in the early mornings, reat skiing mid-morning and then softening into slush from around 14:00. Daytime temperatures at 2400m are between 0°C and -2°C.
A change in temperatures is on the way, bringing fresh snow on Friday night into Saturday. We could see up to 8cm, with the freezing level dropping to around 1050m on Saturday night. This sets Sunday up to be a good powder day, with some sunshine expected, though it will stay chilly with light breezes.
From Sunday into early next week, temperatures will rise a little, reaching around 1°C on Tuesday at 2400m, and the snow line will climb to roughly 2000m. Light snow showers are predicted for Monday afternoon. Expect freeze-thaw conditions—icy slopes in the morning, gradually softening through the day.
The avalanche risk is currently 2 out of 5 (moderate). Wind slabs represent the main danger and where there are weak layers in the old snowpack which can be triggered by skiers. Moist and wet avalanches require caution. The most prone locations are likely to be found around the base of rock walls and where there are abrupt changes in terrain and in gullies and bowls, however these are difficult to recognise.
As always, exercise extreme caution. If heading off-piste, ensure you have the proper equipment, up-to-date weather information, and seek advice from the resort or a qualified guide.
We have quieter pistes and spring-like ski conditions. There are plenty of events planned in Les Arcs in the next few weeks, check out our events calendar.
