Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

The Arlberg Snow Report 2024/2025 (Dec 4th - April 22)

Windy's ECM AI extended 2 week model has a super light dusting for Lech on the 2nd and 3rd. More importantly it is showing as COLD.

I'm watching the precipitation on the Oberlech webcam right now. Is a bit warm there but higher up it should be snow.

@Thew2002, Something i've come to learn when looking at mountain weather forecasts is that they can be pretty ok when looking 24 hours in advance after which .. they will provide an inclination but be prepared and wait and see what happens... some online forecasts even constantly show snowfall at the end of the week that never comes. I believe these forecasts must be sponsored by the tourist offices of their respective resorts.
There are a million and one forecasts out there, the ones i keep on my phone are bergfex set to anton, great for 24 hours always snow at the end of the week. The swiss meteo app has a great animation radar for arriving precipitation, holfuy the flying app links to mountain weather stations to provide temperature and wind info so you can see whether to take the red or the blue one... jumper that is. alternatively this info is on the local tv channel.
Even though forecasts may predict for instance 10cm in the next 24 hours one can wake up in the morning to find 2 or maybe 3 times that amount or maybe just the predicted amount or less. If you want to keep fit and not go to the gym, help your landlord with some snowclearing Very Happy

I would not get to excited about the incoming snow..


A cold front will usher in a wintry weather situation in the night to Wednesday.

Polar cold air will cause deep wintry cold temperatures until Saturday, especially in the mountains, and will be joined by a little snowfall down to low valleys. On Wednesday, there will be a weak northwesterly traffic jam behind the cold front, which will still lead to isolated snow showers. After a brief calming of the weather on Thursday morning, some snowfall will slowly come back in the afternoon.

Another cold front will cross us in the night to Friday and on Friday itself there will be signs of a weak, but icy cold northwesterly congestion along the mountains. Extended, high cloud fields will already announce a change of air mass in the course of the day.

*****Warmer air will flow in to the area, which will also be accompanied by denser, high cloud fields on Sunday.****

*****The frost line rises above 3000m.*****

@afterski, The ECM charts I am seeing are suggesting a return to the dry potentially Föhn conditions after the unsettled period of the next days. Plenty of time for changes though

@stanton, potentially, the cumulated predicted snowfall of this week comes to 50 cm. Which would be quite excellent I'd say....Let's see if it delivers.

This is all getting a bit technical for you isn't it ?
I still remember the days when you used to post proper weather forecasts based on the behaviour of St Anton's cows. snowHead

Next week temperatures ranging from -8c to +4c with a SE wind. In November is that a Föhn?

@Snow&skifan, no, Föhn is S/SW. 4C in Zürs in November is not unusual.

The most recent ECMWF forecasts show a cooler next week. Now only Sunday to Tuesday mild.

 So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much

GFS is suggesting more snow next week, with more to come this week, not in any great quantity though.



ECM not suggesting snow next week though both suggest cooler temperatures.

Whatever the outcome it looks positive for skiing from the 4th

The Cows are still the best indicator and looking up at the cloud formations on Pateriol & Rendl.

Snow will be delivered on the hill currently there is almost 40cms at Ulmerhütte & Galzig..

I was saying do not get to excited as the Temperature is set to rise next next week .

A high over the Mediterranean region will expand towards the region from the south at the weekend, gradually directing subtropical warm air towards us.

The associated high-reaching warming is marked by extensive, high cloud fields, which repeatedly dampens the sunshine.

Towards Monday the frost line will rise ((((((towards 3600m.))))))

@badatbetting, Don't worry, most likely it's the Germanics that are the minority. There will be many Dutch and Scandi's as well. And Brits! And 'Country Roads' will sound as well for sure.

@badatbetting, inability in the German language is no barrier to drinking too much at the Moose

Many of the "songs" are in English and you will quickly pick up the German ones!

If you do decide to have a bit of a session pay out for a taxi home too many accidents from drunk skiers attempting to ski home in the dark
