Summary Snow Report overview 15th Jan 2010

After a snowy weekend on the Alps, especially the Southern Alps, the sun is now shining and the skiing is great.

Most of Austria received good snowfall over the weekend. The Ski Club rep at Obergurgl reported 20cm of fresh snow on Saturday afternoon and subsequent powder skiing on Sunday.

It snowed a lot at most of our featured French resort, particularly the resorts in the southern Alps. Puy St Vincent reported over a metre of fresh snow over the weekend which has more than doubled their piste depths. The sun was shining on Monday and it should do for most of the week so it should be amazing out there.

Over two metres of snow on the upper slopes at Courmayeur in Italy ensures lots of nice skiing. The resort is almost fully open and deserted so it’s an excellent time to be skiing there.

It was snowy in Colorado over last week and the weekend. Loveland reported some awesome powder skiing on Friday and Saturday but the snow has now cleared. Great conditions can still be found all over.

Revelstoke in Canada recently hosted a free ski tournament and its legendary powder made for a great event. Snow fell at most other resorts in Canada too, especially in southern British Columbia. Fernie has all its lifts running and two metres of snow ensures great skiing all over.

Snow forecast for the following week

Light snow is forecast for most of this week in Austria. Once again bad Kleinkirchheim is expecting the most snow, with around 25cm expected to have fallen by Saturday 16th January. Most other resorts are expecting between 10cm and 20cm of snow. The freezing level should hover between 400m and 600m at Obertauern, well below the resort base level.

Similar weather is expected in the French Alps, if a little sunnier. Alpe d’Huez is expecting a cold and sunny week with the exception of Wednesday. On Wednesday 21cm of snow is expected to fall which should give a great powdery end to the week. The freezing level should be between 800m and 1000m all week.

Switzerland and Italy should have a snowy Wednesday and Thursday. Between 5cm and 20cm is forecast at all our featured resorts in Switzerland over these two days, but before and after then it should be sunny. A freezing level between 600m and 900m can be expected all week at Zermatt, giving low temperatures all week.

Up in Scandinavia the cold weather has finally shifted and milder weather has moved in to take its place. Despite it being warmer, it shouldn’t rise above -5C at Lillehammer in Norway. This will make the skiing much more pleasurable but also keep the snow in great condition.

As usual, Whistler is expecting a lot of snow. Nearly 90cm is forecast to land on the upper slopes. This will please locals of Whistler, who are hosting the Winter Olympics next month. It should be fairly cold too with heavy snow falling right down to village level most of the time. Revelstoke and Kicking Horse are also expecting good amounts, with the rest receiving light snow every day this week.
