Alpine forecast

A powerful low has brought some great snow to the Alps, with further light falls on Wednesday and Thursday.

Unfortunately for those hoping that the winds will ease, they won't drop by much on Wednesday and Thursday, with strong winds continuing.

By Friday a high pressure system will push in, providing clearer skies and much lighter winds, leading to great conditions atop the fresh powder across the weekend.

Some weak fronts will brush the ranges between late Sunday and Wednesday 26th, amounting to less than 10cm across resorts before another high moves in.

Hopefully the next fronts due at the end of July bring the heavy snowfalls we crave.
