drdodds, go and have a look on the Val D'Isere thread.
then go there. If you book with Crystal now, you'll get yourself a bargain. Do it quick though before they realise the early season is not doomed after all and put their prices back up.
Come back to this thread if you want to learn about what the weather might, might not, possibly, or probably won't do in a few days time.
As for all the snow. All snow is good, as long as you know how to enjoy it safely.

drdodds, if you still fancy Zermatt have a look on the Zermatt thread on here, or the Italy thread and look at Cervinia (which links to Zermatt). A couple of  were out there last week and even though it hadn't snowed for near on a month the snow up high was apparently very good.
Places might not be fully open now even if there is enough snow as it's still going to be very quiet, they won't run all the lifts all day if no one is there to use them. The week of 16/17 will be different as it's when Christmas holidays start for some, and is likely to be busier.

very good point. Many resorts are not scheduled to open fully until 17 Dec.
80cms now at 2000m in the Beaufortain - was completely green just a few days ago.

Clearly a tricky start to the season in the Alps, though recent snow across the northern and western Alps has gone some way to correcting the situation in those areas.
In terms of the US worth a glance at this piece from Wasatch Weather Weenies on the continuing marginal conditions in some places.

From this evening's 12z GFS it looks like any milder temperatures at the end of the week won't last too long over the Alps nor does it currently appear that they will be that far above average.
Snow though does look like pausing for a few days with clouds parting at times over the weekend. There is the possibility of some snow showers from 12 December over the French Alps.
Beyond that there is an encouraging FI this afternoon, with low pressure building to the south and bringing snow across the Alps from 17 December. Too soon to have any confidence though...

Noza, that FI GFS looks perfect for the Dolomites, but as we know anything in FI will change, fingers crossed for all of the temporary pasta eaters though

The current pattern is playing havoc in the Pyrenees, normally we have a good base building up by now but the sky is clear and the temperatures are way above normal. Though gradually cooling there doesn't seem to be any major activity on the cards within the next 7 days.

Snow-forecast seems to have dropped the dump of snow in the 3vs from next weeks outlook. Just waiting for Noz and the other masters of the wiggles to tell us what's going on.

Has the big dump finished for now? Will the weather pattern on the chart bring some more snow soon, do we think?

kitenski, that field must have a good 2 cms of snow on it. Thing is, does the Aiguille Verte have her snow hat on?

Latest GFS wiggles and maps very encouraging for next week, freezing level a bit high,but hopefully will come down, the Atlantic should show some more of it,s "teeth" next week, but if it comes off should be a great Xmas week especially for N ALps , where I,m going 2nd jan  experts will confirm later I hope !

I'd be surprised if the experts are sticking their necks out about 2 January - but I hope you're right.

looks like snow-forecast has caught up with the wiggle meisters, as it is now showing reasonable accumilation in the 3v's and other areas for middle of next week.

Could someone concoct some predictions for the Eastern Alps/Ski Amade for the next 7 days? Wiggles looking to show slightly higher temps than now but what about the snow?
Cheers
