snow reports

Dorset Boy wrote:The snow depth tends to be measured in an uncompacted, shaded, roped off area, so doesn't really bear much resemblence to the depth of snow on which you are skiing! Undoubtedly some resorts position the measuring stick under a snow canon!

This was certainly the case in Grindelwald. There's a roped off area close to the gondola station with a measuring stick. I suppose it can only be a guide to ski conditions. Each piste will have variations from the quoted snow depths due to amounts of sunshine, wind, snow cannons etc.
