@mountainaddict, hmmm. All of the big dumps forecast 4-7 days ahead seem to fall away to nothing. If there are big weekend dumps, could make transfers interesting.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

nothing has been predicted like this so far, granted some of the forecasts have dwindled to nothing or little, but the charts for this weekend seem to be converging with more confidence across the runs.

@stefoy4me, I'd agree - when you have different runs predicting a decent amount and when there is less movement over time with the predicted dump date, then you can get more excited.

Fingers crossed

The forecasted dump from the 27th does sound promising - but still a little too far ahead for me to get too excited!

As mentioned in other thread, the Meteox.com site which has been depressingly accurate in recent weeks is finally showing some prolonged snow this weekend.

that looks like the game changer we ve all been praying for!!!!!!!!!
Transfer day on the 28th is going to be a nightmare if that pans out.
Looks like there could well be snow at the major airports, Lyon, Geneva, etc........after praying for snow to replace green fields, might not even be able to land!!!

@stefoy4me, Id live with a crappy transfer if the snow arrives. Does chambery get much snow?

All of the forecasts keep switching from loads of snow on 28th to hardly any. grrrrr.

@Mike-H, my (albeit meagre) understanding is that Chambery shuts more often than the other nearby airports. Don't know exact figures, though.

chambery being so close to the mountains is usually the one that shuts in bad weather the most...............but if that storm is as shown then Geneva, Lyon, Salzburg, etc will be under pressure

|
Mike H - that metoex graphic shows it getting walloped
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chambery shuts because of associated cloud/fog problem coming off the lake I gather? has happened to me twice and I now avoid even though it's prob the best transfer to 3 valleys.

Not looking like this will develop in the same way anymore then...
Gutted if it doesn't arrive, not just for myself but for everyone coming out to ski and learn and enjoy the holidays!

Hope it does happen but to throw it in there as a conspiracy theory after a poor Xmas its convenient timing to boost nend year bookings.
