I booked to go to villars on sunday for a few days, but the forecast is heavy snow, if acurate I prefer to stay at home than skiing while its snowing,so how reliable are they

If you look at the Meteo Swiss Forecast they are usually fairly accurate T-3 days or so. You could say that most of the automated weather forecasts are quite accurate, close to the time.

Broom, why don't you want to go skiing if it's snowing?

The forecast snow is now well within the 48-hour window, and has been consistently predicted by just about every model run over the past few days. So very high confidence in at least the initial falls.

Looks like potentially heavy snow for Friday and Saturday across much of the Northern Alps and possible Blue Bird day Tuesday!

Yesterday we sent out over 5,000 Powder Alarms, and today's Snow Mail (leaving shortly) will require your attention! This is not a drill...

Hate skiing when its snowing cant see were i am going, goggles get fogy all the time, no speed on a sraight blue, the best recipe is snow during the night and sunshine by day

Broom, it's time to buy some new Goggles and embrace the Pow )
The Red slopes may be better for you on snowy days, bit more speed. When it's snowing the slopes are much quieter, more space, less queues.

I dream of floating in powder and making first tracks 8)
