Conditions in Andorra at present are very good, with plenty of fresh snow this week on top of good snowfalls last weekend. Snow depths are in the order of 80 cm on lower runs, and up to 160 cm on upper runs. With low temperatures at present, these good conditions are being preserved both on- and off-piste.
Swiss resorts are also providing good skiing conditions throughout, in particular resorts such as Zermatt, St Moritz and Davos, although lower slopes in Wengen and Grindewald are now becoming a bit worn. Further snowfalls of up to 50 cm in western resorts such as Verbier, Wengen and Champery are forecast this weekend.
After some very heavy snowfalls across Austria, giving up to one metre of new snow on upper runs in many resorts, conditions remain pretty good throughout. There is still some very good skiing to be had on upper runs. However, lower runs in many resorts are beginning to become worn and icy.
Fresh snowfalls have improved conditions in French resorts, although accumulations were only in the order of 10 to 15 cm. Skiing conditions on higher runs remain good, but runs at mid-mountain level and below are becoming hard-packed, and lower runs are showing the occasional bare patch. However, up to 40 cm of fresh snow is forecast over the next couple of days.
Italian resorts are still offering good skiing conditions throughout, and conditions on higher runs remain excellent. Lower runs are becoming a bit thin and worn. However, there is more snow on the way, and up to 45 cm is forecast for western Italian resorts such Courmayeur, La Thuile, Sestriere and Sauze. Further east, in resorts such as Livigno, Cortina and Madonna di Campiglio, accumulations will be less, in the order of up to 20 cm.
