The lifts are due to open in Sauze d'Oulx this weekend and the snow has arrived just in time to ensure a good start to the season.

Check out the weather section of sauzeonline.com for regular weather/snow reports.

Hey Powderhound

It was supposed to arrive last week. What happened?

It snowed on Saturday and looks like that was it for Winter. Temperatures on the rise again, winter is cancelled, please bring hiking boots and sun-cream.

...but seriously, there's still plenty of season left - just not much this side of the New Year by the looks of it...

Latest snow forecast for Sestriere says freezing level up to 3,000 metres by Thursday, but cooler with a chance of a few cm of snow over the weekend...

It all could change though - the forecasts have been all over the place lately - but generally not looking too useful right now.

The thing that confuses me about those snow reports is it doesn't say how much snow is already on the ground. or is there literally no snow? if the resort gets 5cm on Saturday on top of 30 or 40 cms that will be enough right? Or is it only 5cms!!?
