Après l'épisode des chutes de neige importantes du week-end dernier, le froid et un fort vent du NE ont contribué à une forte instabilité du manteau neigeux. Le risque d'avalanche est compris entre 3 et 4 (sur une échelle comportant 5 niveaux de risque), selon l'altitude et les régions des Alpes du nord. La plus grande prudence est donc de mise, surtout lors d'un passage à ski d'une zone peu enneigée (crête soufflée par le vent) à une zone abritée ou sous le vent (forte accumulation de neige). 3, record 2, French, - sous%20le%20vent
