Weekly Snow Report - Thursday 16 February

The week ahead

Hello,

For the first time in several months, it's actually been quite a slow week on the snow news front. Extreme cold dominated The Alps (although that has eased in recent days), and scattered snowfall has refreshed and topped up impressive snow packs once again. The most significant snowfalls of the week were reported from Italy and Sweden.

Conditions remain good just about everywhere and a number of resorts in Austria, France and the USA are currently reporting bases in excess of 4 metres (13 feet).

European Weather and Snow This Coming Week

Milder weather than of late, perhaps with temperatures briefly in excess of the seasonal averages, will dominate the Alpine area for the next few days - with light cloud and sunny spells being the order of the day through the weekend.

Further out, temperatures look like settling around normal levels for the time of year, with a good possibility of a little light snow next week.

That's all for this week,
The J2Ski Team

Please forward this email to anyone who might be interested - thank you.

Stay Safe :- Big Snow means Big Avalanche Risk - make sure you always know and understand the local avalanche risk level before you ski or snowboard off-piste, take appropriate safety equipment and never go off-piste alone.
