Some decent snow falling, by the look of things, in La Ros/La Thuile and in my favoured Swiss destinations - still not booked anything else yet - holding my nerve for more snow!!!

Enjoy Andy. Mayrhofen is suddenly looking, as Michael Barrymore would say; all white

If anyone deserves some good fresh snow it's Ally G ...... and of course I would not mind if the Three Valleys gets some fresh stuff since I'm bringing 33 people from my US ski club to La Tania on March 5 and feel personally responsible for them to have a great experience there! Hoping Ally is having a good time now since she was so kind to send me several recommendations when I was starting to put our group trip together several months ago.

Report Engelberg:

39 cms over the past 24 hours here - the forecast says another 64 (!) in the next 7 days.

(The forecast changes very much from day to day though...)

Conditions are heavenly, but very dangerous at the moment. Several smaller avalanches yesterday. The last big snowfall in Engelberg was January 24, and it is very packed underneath the new snow.

Here is a Switzerland map over the snow, Engelberg is the left blue dot :)

Eric, is the snow base in Engelberg affected by the depth hoar that occurred early on in the winter elsewhere?

Henry's Avalanche Talk had a super little video demonstrating that (in the Tarentaise) the base snow is like dry sand.

I hope it improves in Engelberg as one of my plans is to finally do the Laub, hopefully in March. Any availability at the Ski Lodge, Eric?
