I looked at the webcam this am, I couldn't make out the chair other than it was running but the T bar didn't seem rammed. I thought racers liked it hard and icy.
Tignes will announce what will open for half term on the 15th October.

@südtirolistdeutsch, if it persists much the same as when you last asked a similar question.

Last third of the month continues to show potential for colder and more unsettled weather. Still some time away mind you.

Scotland is impressive. Parts of the Med have also been pounded.
Marseille on Monday.
Yesterday and this AMs weather has brought a few flakes at glacier level at Tignes and les Deux Alpes but not much lower down, in France at any rate. Still too mild, zero iso is around 2900 meters.
Should be another weather system tracking across the Alps on Sunday/Monday then unsettled rainy weather from midweek - although still very mild.

Queues don’t look too bad on the web cam from Hintertux today.

That looks grim. My son and I were due to head out to Hintertux next weekend but with little snow in the 9-day forecast I'm beginning to think his broken fibula has been a blessing in disguise! Reports coming back from the kids are out there this week are that it is extremely icy and bare in places.

What a remarkable year for weather. A cool but dry winter and then the mother of all late Februaries and early Marches in the UK with a long fetch easterly returning after an absence of 30 years. Spring didn't arrive at all and then straight into summer. In fact its still summer on this side of the Pennines although that is set to change tomorrow. We must be way behind our average rainfall this year.
A lot needs to change over the next 6 weeks for the Alpine season to start on time. However I think it was similarly warm last Autumn and then look what happened next !

@Peter S, We need some rain on the west side of the Pennines. A lot of the reservoirs around here are very low. And yes, it's still warm. We were out with our local paddle club last night in a crazy warm breeze  .
ps, looks like we're going to get some of that rain in the next two to three days.

GFS 12z takes temperatures on a bit of a dive from 18 October.
@Gaza, at present with such mild and sunny weather hiking is far more appealing than the thought of a glacier. Hintertux is normally a bit hit or miss till you get into the second half of October. This year more miss.

Weather this year right across the world has been insane.
Swung through Holland this week and it's been like summer. In the middle of October. Folk are headed to the beach in their shorts and swimsuits this weekend.

My preliminary winter outlook for Winter 2018-19 is now out.
https://longrangesnowcenter.blogspot.com/2018/10/october-preliminary-northern-hemisphere.html
An abstract of my outlook. Full details in link above.
"So in summary, my forecast is for a rapidly descending to positive QBO, weak-moderate basin-wide El Niño with perhaps some weird atmospheric feedback, neutral/slightly +PDO, strong -EPO, a -AO and -NAO and a much further south than usual Aleutian Low. Also some potential Scandi blocking, and blocking over the Barents-Kara Sea."

Mögliche Entwicklung ab Sonntag, 21. Oktober bis Samstag, 27. Oktober 2018
Nordwestströmung über Mitteleuropa mit eingelagerten atlantischen Störungen. Zufuhr von feuchter und kühler Luft zum Alpenraum. Wechselhaftes Wetter mit einigen Niederschlägen und möglicherweise Schnee bis in mittlere Höhenlagen. Temperatur unter dem für die Jahreszeit üblichen Mittel.
Swiss weather forecast seems to suggest winter is not far away I see that Jungraubahn have started putting the snow guns in position

The forecasts have dialed back on the rain for this week in the French alps. It is now looking pretty dry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
Possible development from Sunday, 21. October to Saturday, 27. October 2018
Northwest current over Central Europe with inlaid Atlantic disturbances. Supply of moist and cool air to the Alps. Changeable weather with some rainfall and possibly snow to medium altitudes. Temperature below normal for the season.

Very interesting, if you don't mind me asking, how did your forecast's fore last season turn out?

Shift to colder and whisper it, perhaps snowier weather for the Alps still looks on the cards as we head out of October.

@twoodwar, actually that wasn’t me trying to explain what @Jellybeans1000, post, just looking at this morning’s output.
Both ECM and GFS are suggesting an increasingly northerly influence as we move into the last third of October.

Shame, Noza. Still dont know what jelly was saying. I was all too prepared to accept what you were saying as an explanation. I will keep quiet though
|
|

|

|

@twoodwar, with the mention of -AOs I think there is inference of more likelihood of a high pressure blocking set up over the Atlantic which generally favours the southern Alps for any precipitation/snow. But I might be wrong, plus whatever it means it's a "long range forecast" i.e. a load of bollox.

agreed hd, but I could not even tell if it was interesting bollox
