Alpine forecast

Generally mild and calm conditions on the slopes at the moment so get out there and enjoy it before conditions deteriorate from Tuesday.

Winds will increase on Tuesday and unfortunately some rain is likely late in the day. The good news is that there will be plenty of moisture around when the cold front roars through on Wednesday. Up to 10cm of fresh snow is likely on Wednesday although it will be very windy as well.

Snow showers will continue on Thursday morning and with winds easing the afternoon should be a great time to enjoy the fresh snow. Snow showers are a chance through to Saturday and cold overnight temperatures will allow resorts to fire up the snow guns.
