Snow is back in strength. Since mid-February, the majority of disturbances across France have been generous with the Pyrenees. So now we leave the shovels, plows roads there, and get through the snow to snow gauge. What do we measure?
- At Cauterets, measuring 250 cm above the cirque du Lys;
- the side of the Grand Tourmalet, all sectors are open, including the mythical area of Lienz;
- A Piau, measuring 170 cm above the field, which is 100% open;
- At Saint-Lary is also grazes the 100% open with 180 cm above the field;
- A Baqueira, Val d'Aran, famous for its microclimate Atlantic, it was announced to 240 cm 2 500 m and 170 m to 1 500 m;
- A Grandvalira, Andorra, a little farther east, the area is open to 100% (193 km of slopes).
One does not enter into detail, the is always better to go on the official websites of the resorts snow conditions.
note, the snowpack is far from being stabilized. Pelle, Arva, Avalanche Airbag, Power 100 and above caution for free-riders. Think about your moms.
