Yes or check with the piste patrol. However I think this kind of reminder is useful, someone contacted me today to say she had phoned her son in Val d'Isère to remind him not to go off-piste for the next few days... he had been planning to do some "between the pistes snowboarding".
As you can see I'm at home... the snow (outside of marked and open ski runs of course) is rotten on the slopes which are reasonbly safe with this kind of risk (forest tracks) and really too dangerous elsewhere.

Hi Chris,
Jules Gaspard (aka Julio, Jojo or "le bete de l'amour - by his mum) is 17 months old. I'm working on the Dominique Perret theory that you need to be on skis by 2 or you won't make it as a skier :-) although I don't think JG's talents really lie in that direction.
It is pretty warm in the valleys at the mo but managed to snow down to 600m last night, this has melted a bit but it at least means the lower snow is a bit more wholesome. I'm waiting for some purges on the mountains opposite though.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Just to follow up on the original story. Around a dozen avalanche fatalities in the Swiss Grissons, Valais and French Alps over the last few days so it was a timely warning. Conditions are slowly imroving with a good freeze - thaw cycle on south facing slopes but there are still some suspect areas out there.
