Poster: A snowHead
|
rob@rar.org.uk, apparently a ton of powder last night, but the snowline varied a lot - when it was really chucking it down around midnight, at times I could see the lights and slopes well above 2100 metres, at Les Arcs and La Plagne. This morning the temps have dropped, so it must be pretty good above 2200-ish.
Looking forward a few days, for the likes of Val d'Isère, temps on the rise tomorrow, peaking first thing Wednesday with heavy rain forecast to 2200m again. On Thursday though, another day of heavy precipitation, the snowline is between 1100m and 1600m. Longer term, seems to be staying a bit cool.
But with these wildly changing conditions, the forecasters seem to be saying something along the lines of "Conditions variable. Snowline somewhere between 1000m and 3000m. Wind direction anywhere from NW to SW. Possible Foehn later in week. If the Northerlies don't return. Reliable forecasting a touch difficult, but we've got to make something up or we'll look incompetent".

rob@rar.org.uk,
Well, he can tell a good story with the best of them so if he says deep powder, I'll never win from this distance..
Hope he is right and these changeable patterns stay with us until the end of April. That should make the BLAM and EOSB good..!!
Are you going to the EOSB by the way..?

JT, I'm in Les Arcs next week, home for a week, then back to Les Arcs for four days at the same time as the EOSB. I'm hoping to drive across to Val Thorens for at least a day or two to meet up with EOSBers

Reading through some of comments here it seems like some people dont expect snow in late season.
Most mountain areas receive the most amount of snow during March & April this is normal
