Latest snow report
Updated: 3.30pm Friday 5 April 2019
Conditions across the Alps are fantastic right now thanks to significant new snow in most areas. The greatest snowfalls (1m to 1.5m) have been close to the Swiss-Italian border roughly east of Zermatt/Saas-Fee, along the main Alpine ridge towards St Moritz and as far north as Andermatt. The north-eastern Austrian Alps (e.g Salzburgland) have seen the least snow, with just a dusting today.
The vast majority of the Alps, however, have seen 20cm to 80cm of new snow over the last couple of days, which will make for some excellent skiing for anyone lucky enough to be out there over the next couple of days. That said, take care off-piste as the risk of avalanche is very high.
Across the pond, there hasn’t been a huge amount of snow recently, but there is still plenty of skiing on offer…
