Avalanche Risk is still Level 4 (of 5) since last weekend's storm. The fresh snow was significantly wind-affected in places (particularly on the runs off the Aiguille Rouge), and there is now a definite "persistent weak layer" as a result of the new snow falling on month-old hardpack and crust off-piste. So please be careful out there (Avalanche Risk is 4 - High - across a wide area of the French Alps and there have been and will continue to be avalanches with casualties).
On piste conditions are generally excellent, with occasional sun-affected exceptions (small icy patches in the shadows) low on the Arc 1600/1800 side.
