Alpine forecast

Any snow cover lost to the recent warm wind and rain will be more than compensated for by fresh snow falls in the coming week. In fact, there should be a net gain of 10-20cm for the main resorts by next weekend.

Snowfalls are expected to be heavier on Thursday (more than 10cm is possible) and a potentially heavier again next weekend due to fronts and lows gradually gaining intensity.

With further snow-bearing systems likely during the following week we should see the natural snow depth finally reach a season high.
