Snow in verbier

weird snow pack...
​

Can you see that line in the snowpack? Well that is sand from the Sahara that came with some very strong winds back in February. This is the view from La Chaux in Verbier accross to the Chamonix Massif. Now this layer has been heating up our snow and making it tricky to figure out how stable it is. Even though the recent avalanche danger reports have had us in Level 2 - you need to observe and understand where and what you are standing on. Not always an easy thing to do. even for us professionals who are out there every day. So stay safe, and do check the avalanche bulletin:  SLF whiterisk
