Avalanche in Val d'Isere
1,000 metre long avalanche swept down a piste last night
Last night around 6:45pm a huge avalanche came down from the Super L and through the L piste and the juntion with the L and Mattis pistes in Val d'Isere.
The avalanche travelled 1,000 meters and piled up 2.5 metres high. It travelled most of the way down a piste!
Had this avalanche come down during opening hours it could have had serious consequences. Pistes such as the L and the Santon are often closed during the afternoons due to a real avalanche risk so do respect the 'closed' signs on the pistes because they are closed for a reason!
Thanks to Radio TV Val d'Isere for the additional photos.
