Weekly Snow Report - Thursday 07 April

The week ahead

Hello again,

This will probably be our penultimate weekly report before we revert to our summer monthly reporting, but there's still snow falling and plenty of skiing to be had in the right places...

This Week's Snow Headlines

- Up to 30cm (12 inches) of fresh snow in the Pyrenees.

- Alyeska in Alaska passes 20m season-to-date snowfall figure.

- Up to 120cm (four feet) of fresh snow expected in The Alps and Dolomites in the coming week.

- 32cm of fresh snow in Saas Fee, the biggest snowfall accumulation in the Alps this week.

Western North America has had the lion’s share of the world’s snowfall over the past week again, with up to 75cm of fresh reported in Colorado. There’s been much less snow in Europe, where it’s been a case of a gradual spring thaw. Most still-open areas have good bases at altitude, so it's good on the groomed runs until early/mid-afternoon, but sticky afterwards with not much skiable off piste.

It is the beginning of the end, however, of the 2015-16 Northern Hemisphere ski season as a few of the world’s leading ski areas - including the Skiwelt in Austria and Jackson Hole in the US - have completed their scheduled seasons, and more will be joining them this weekend.

In Jackson Hole’s case the resort closed with a deep snow base after another week of heavy snowfall; continuing to fall even after it closed.

The snow is still falling in other areas too; there’s been a foot of fresh snow in the Pyrenees and snow is forecast for the Alps and even the Scottish Highlands.

In The Alpine Forecast

Despite the thaw and Spring conditions this week, many areas will see decent amounts of fresh snow over the next few days and into next week. Of particular note are Swiss ski areas including Zermatt and Italian resorts in The Dolomites and the Aosta Valley (Monterosa) which should see up to 50cm over the next two days (just before many of these areas close this weekend!).

Elsewhere, a fair amount of precipitation is forecast with an expected snow line anywhere between 1200m and 2000m depending on the location. It being Spring, of course, that will be falling as rain on lower slopes but runs above 2000m should get a good refresh in many places.

The highest (and, importantly, latest-opening) ski areas all have good bases and most should even offer some freshies over the next couple of weeks if you're lucky enough to be able to get out.
