Hi, Zermatt's escaping the worst of the current storm (so far), but is still likely to see anything up to half a metre of new snow over the next few days - wind is also an issue.
The avalanche risk, and any associated piste (or road) closures, is very fluid and will change from day-to-day. Roads, of course, tend to be made safe as quickly as can be managed. When are you going to be in Zermatt? One of our forum regulars with a lot of local knowledge for Zermatt is Swingbeep, and regularly drops in with an update so look out for his posts! |

It's going to be very similar to Obertauern; Saalbach currently looks like it may get even more snow from the incoming storm. Wherever you pick in that area is going to be the same; you really won't know exactly how the snow pans out until Sunday - keeping the main roads clear will be their priority, of course, so a lot will depend on how the roads up to the individual resorts are affected. Furthy34 has been in Saalbach the past few weeks and is leaving today I think, so may be able to give you an update on the roads if he logs in today. Sorry if teaching granny to suck eggs here, but you're very likely to need chains on Sunday - so if you're picking up a hire car then a) make sure you've got some and b) find a car park on the way to have a quick practice getting them on and off before you get into the snow... |
