Brit skiers heading for a half-term holiday in the Alps are being warned they are at serious risk of being caught in deadly avalanches.
Storm force winds and fresh snowfall of up to a metre in places has led to mountain rescue putting resorts across the region on standby.
The avalanche risk currently stands at level four - of five - making it almost inevitable that huge slabs of snow will thunder downhill at some point, engulfing all in their path.



It is so on edge that the regional head of the French mountain rescue service, Captain Olivier Cousin, described it the whole situation as 'explosive'.
According to Meteo France: 'Across the Alps, and in particular in the interior ranges of the Haute-Savoie, Savoie, Isère and in the north of the Hautes-Alpes as well as the Haut-Var/ Haut-Verdon, the risk is high.'


With the avalanche risk across the French Alpine region at four, skiers are warned that there is a 'high probability of spontaneous avalanches' for those skiers who venture off the marked pistes.
'The main risk for off-piste enthusiasts is triggering a slab avalanche in the recent snow on all slope aspects,' the warning said.
A poor start to the snow season has led to the ranges having exceptionally icy bases.



That means the snow is incredibly unstable.
Forecasters predict more heavy snowfalls to come in upcoming days, in tandem with low temperatures.
With 10 weeks of the season left to run, the number of avalanche deaths in Europe is already at its highest for five years. Nearly all the 75 deaths, 44 of them in France and Switzerland, have occurred since New Year.



As well as the danger of avalanches, the 200,000 Brits set to head over for the week are also being warned that the fresh snow might hamper their chances of even making it to their resorts.
Road conditions are said to have become treacherous in the wake of the bad weather, with many routes already struggling to accommodate traffic.
The latest British victim, father-of-three Graeme Porteous from Wimbledon, London, died on the last day of his holiday when an avalanche swept him against a tree in the Italian Piedmont region.

The Prime Minister is considering putting all terrorist prison inmates into a single jail which has been dubbed the British Alcatraz.
The jail, would hold all 131 Islamist inmates, convicted of terror offences, in a single secure unit to stop them infecting other prisoners with their extremist views.
The policy has been recommended by a new review into radicalisation in British prisons, and David Cameron said hinted earlier this week he is 'prepared to consider major changes'.



It would reverse the current policy of dispersing dangerous inmates across eight prisons, which has been in place for 50 years. This stops them creating gangs and power structures within the jail.
One prison source told The Times that it would be better to maintain the the ability to move prisoners, but agreed it would be a good idea to segregate them to stop them 'infecting other inmates with their views.


There are concerns that putting all radicals in one prison, or a secure unit within a jail such as Belmarsh, would give them another reason for protest, and be considered a British Guantanamo Bay.
The proposed jail has been dubbed 'The British Alcatraz', likened to the American jail which was created to house the country's most dangerous inmates, all in one place.
The idea behind Alcatraz was to separate them from other prisoners so they could not influence others with their bad behaviour, similar to the purpose of separating Islamist extremists.
The review also recommends calling former soldiers into young offenders institutions, and for them to run their own cadet corps.
