A distinct change in the recent settled weather is under way. For most of the past ten days, the major alpine region has enjoyed blue skies - although Spring temperatures last week have once again given way to colder than average conditions.
Weather and Snow THIS Week
Starting tomorrow, predominantly affecting the Northern French Alps, Switzerland and parts of Austria, bands of snow will push into the area. Significant snowfall is possible to the North of the main alpine ridge, with accumulations of 30cm or more falling to 1000 metres and maybe below. Snow is likely in the affected areas throughout Tuesday and Wednesday.
A brief clear spell may follow before further snow at the weekend. We'll have a further update in our normal Thursday e-mail but the indications are promising for further good snowfall, albeit perhaps with a higher snow line.
With the tremendous depths of snow in most resorts, quiet slopes and many late deals available - it's a great time to get away if you can; and looking very good for Easter if you're off then. :D :D :D :D ...oh, hang on, I'm not... :cry:
...oh, and our Colombian barge-rider says it's snowing in Scotland too...

Thanks for that Admin.
I never worry too much about snow later in the season.
Ignore those who scoff at Easter skiing.
Just pick your resort carefully.
Grand Massif usually fantastic and slopes much quieter than at half term.
That said this year we're going to Les Saisies, looking good.
