Verbier gets 1 metre of snow in under 24 hours

The webcam pointed at the snow-depth "table" at La Chaux (at 2,265m) in Verbier, Switzerland is perfectly illustrating the effect of the current storm crossing the Alps.


Yesterday (Wednesday 16th April at 11:00), shortly after the snow arrived.


Yesterday (Wednesday 16th April at 16:00), after they sweep the left-side of the table to reset, showing about 15cm.


This morning (Thursday 17th April at 08:00), showing the addition of about 90cm since 16:00 yesterday.

It is forecast to continue snowing through this morning and then to clear later and for tomorrow. Temperatures are expected to rise on Saturday, so go high (lift openings permitting).

So Easter is going to be incredible BUT Avalanche Risk will be extreme and many/most/possibly all lifts will be closed initially.

Enjoy, but stay safe!
