It’s been a changeable week so far in Avoriaz, we did get the promised snow over the weekend, specifically on Friday evening which made for a great powder weekend, although we didn’t see much of the sun. The weather this week is changing though. Tuesday is the coldest day of the week with the lowest freezing level at around 600m and maybe a light snowfall late afternoon into this evening.
From Wednesday this week we’ve got some calm and sunny days coming up even though it will remaining pretty cold, with temperatures not getting above -3. No snow is forecast until Sunday and Monday next week when we may get around 10cm. After that it’s too far out to predict accurately. The snow depths over around 1800m are above average for this time of the season and recent snowfall has really freshened up the snow giving excellent off-piste conditions.
The avalanche rating is currently around 3 out of 5. Be aware on north facing slopes over 2000m as you may find some instability due to a buried weaker layer beneath the new snow. As always don’t venture off-piste without the correct kit or before checking the daily weather advisory in the resort.
