There's been an unusually heavy snowstorm in Andorra bringing up to 30cm (a foot) of fresh snow to the country's slopes this week - great news for anyone lucky enough to have booked there this week, the second of the school holidays for many families.
The Alps have had more mixed weather conditions with mostly sunny spring skiing although some strong winds at time. However significant snow is forecast (The most optimistic, 1.2m/4 feet for Zermatt) in the coming week and up to 90cm (three feet) in the Dolomites. There has been some new snow already as illustrated by this picture today on the Kitsteinhorn glacier in Austria.
There has also been snow in Scotland with more forecast so it's looking better for the three centres still open at Glencoe (pictured) as well as Cairngorm and Nevis Range.
First snow has also been reported today in the southern hemisphere at Cerro Catedral in the Andes of Argentina.
