Latest snow report
Updated: 9.10pm Thursday 12 April 2018
It may be the middle of April but snow cover remains very impressive right across the Alps, at altitude at least. There is even some fresh snow in places, especially in the southern French and Western Italian Alps, where resorts such as Isola 2000, Prali and Bonneval sur Arc could be forgiven for thinking it was the middle of winter today!
It hasn’t been cold though, which means that natural snow cover is now patchy at low altitudes, especially in the northern and eastern Alps where it has particularly mild this week.
Across the pond, some big name resorts are already closed (or about to close) for the season, but good skiing is still possible both in Canada and the US…
