Alpine forecast

The biggest snowfalls of the season so far have taken the natural depths to 110-160cm at all major resorts. Nights are still chilly enough for further snow making.

With warmer days ahead there will be some snow melt, but a front coming through Saturday will bring some snow.

Rain is a chance early next week, however as temperatures fall this will turn to snow with the best chance of decent falls towards the weekend. With strong winds visibility will be poor during this time, clearing up at the end of the fortnight making great conditions to be out in the fresh snow.
