Weekly Snow Report - Thursday 31 March

The week ahead

Hello,

This Week's Snow Headlines

- Two Feet of fresh snow in Jackson Hole; the most in the world this week.

- Up to 40cm of fresh snow in the Alps but 5-15cm for most areas.

- Second Scottish area closed by thaw.

The forecasts which predicted moderate snowfall in the Western Alps a week ago proved to be a bit ‘off’ with Austria reporting the biggest accumulations in Europe and less significant falls in France and Switzerland. Cover remains good on the pistes almost everywhere for the start of April with typical Spring conditions. There’s little powder to find off-piste now though and there’s currently not much fresh snow expected in the Alps in the week ahead.

Elsewhere in Europe the Pyrenees continue to look good and 30cm more snow is forecast for the coming week, although some areas will be closing their lifts this coming weekend.

In North America it’s been snowing heavily again on the western side of the continent with the biggest snow in the world reported in Jackson Hole, which got two feet of fresh snow in the past week. Other areas typically posted 12-18 inches / 30-45cm.

Scottish slopes are struggling to stay snow-covered, despite a few fresh snow flurries; Glenshee is currently closed for lack of adequate cover, joining The Lecht, whilst the other three areas are still open.

In The Alpine Forecast

Spring is certainly in the air... The Alps are looking to be generally warm, albeit with regular light precipitation at altitude, for the next week or so.

Although many lower altitude ski areas will be closing this coming weekend, there is still a wide choice of skiing above 2,000 metres with areas such as Paradiski (Les Arcs and La Plagne) and Espace Killy remaining open through April.

We'll be posting a round-up of April skiing options in the forum in the next day or two, once we've checked with a few Tourist Offices!
