The upper Engadin has a relatively dry climate, but St Moritz is high and has a reputation for cold, especially early in the season. Any snow that does fall here tends to stick around and the area as a whole is pretty snow-sure.
Later in the season the Corviglia area gets a lot of direct sun and slush can be an issue. At this point the shadier Corvatsch area usually offers the better snow.
Where to head in poor snow conditions:
The north-facing Corvatsch area normally has the best snow conditions, especially later in the season.
If things are really bad, the Diavolezza glacier is only a short drive away but is limited in extent.
