Weekly Snow Report - Thursday 14 April

The week ahead

Hello again,

Well we did think this was going to be the last one of the season, but there's still more snow (at altitude) in the forecast and there are still ski areas open, so next week will be the final 15/16 Snow Mail before we go Monthly for the summer!

This Week's Snow Headlines

- A foot of fresh snow at year-round Zermatt.

- A foot of snow forecast this weekend in Colorado.

- Around half of resorts in the Alps now closed for the season, but most in France still open.

- Chamonix, with world’s deepest reported snow base, claims it has increased to 7.1m

- Andorra ends its 2015-16 ski season.

- All leading ski areas in Scandinavia still open.

The ending of the ski season is now in full swing in Europe with most Austrian resorts closed, and around half of those in France and Italy also closed. Most areas have also closed in the Pyrenees but all leading ski areas in Scandinavia are still open.

It’s a little ironic then that for many areas April is proving a snowier month than December; with another 10-30cm of snow reported on the upper slopes in most resorts. Forecasters are also predicting some more snow in the Alps, possibly 30-60cm on higher slopes in the coming week and perhaps as much as a metre at Zermatt.

In The Alpine Forecast

Another week of varying weather will bring fresh snow at altitude (and rain below), with many areas of The Alps now expecting warm, clear days interspersed with considerably cooler and snowier ones.

For resorts still open, the end of season conditions are looking great; generally Spring snow but some real powder possibilities if you time it right...
