@polo, thanks, it was the source image and it used to always show the latest without having to pass any variables so I kept it on a little page I made to keep webcams etc all in one place!

@BobinCH, you're always bigging up the numbers in Verbier. Maths says 49cm.

Next week is looking greyer and greyer in Obergurgl (and presumably over much of the Alps)... I was hoping for a week of 12hr/day sunshine after the snow of the next 3 days...

@Handy Turnip, I'd suggest its very unusual to have a completely cloudy week without any sun in april in the Alps...

@zzz, face shots? Is that when your face is covered in snow? Mostly happens to me on wipeouts on Ranfolly. But no one is twisting your arm.
Gotta be better than slush shots

Snowing at 400m around geneva this morning, webcams look pretty bleak higher up
Even bigger differences on the 00z re. the 7th, GFS doing it's own thing again but this time with the best solution, other models look westerly and wet

DERBY De La MEIJE just cancelled
ATTENTION - INFO COMITE SECURITE COURSE
Nous vous informons que nous avons pris la décision d'annuler la course.
Raison : non possibilité de vol de notre hélicoptère de secours médicalisé pour cause de météorologie défavorable.
Lots of talk of Retour D'Est in various forecasts, and currently Abries showing 30cms overnight into tomorrow, though don't think that's worth a road trip.
Middle of next week looking amazing but as ever watch that disappear as we get closer.

GFS 06z Op and it's entire ensemble suite has unfortunately ditched the idea of a northerly on 7th, belatedly joining other models with a westerly outlook.....could be very wet below 1500m, with FL maybe rising to 1800m in NW alps towards end of next week. Hopefully wrong, but that's how it looks right now. A lot of snow likely above 1800m though.

I'd like to inform the occupants of this thread that after a day of head scratching, fruitless texting and going through my contacts to find some forgotten ski buddy, I've made the difficult decision not to jaunt out to Switzerland for a day and a half alone to lap up the cold smoke blower pow.
I'd ask that posters respect my personal decision at this difficult time and refrain from posting snorkel footage.

@kitenski, yep very unusual to see it back track again. Normally when one model caves in and joins consensus that’s it, everyone on same page. So this latest twist is also a good signal that there has to be some compromise from others……2-3 degrees obviously makes a difference to quality of snow at all levels.
I’d be more confident now there will be some N/NW component, though you don’t see it on ECM yet (+120 and 144 charts are poor). UKMO gets there on the 8th…..so it’s more split now
Will resolve soon either way. Am offski…..still snowing heavily, got stuff to shred

Yesterday was a superb example of how wildly different the weather can be in the Mountains over a relatively small area.
Serre Chevalier had circa 10cm forecast, Friday night into Saturday morning, we ended up with a dribble and stupidly strong winds that closed most of the lifts.
Meanwhile, 8km down the road Briancon, was white, then 12km as the crow flies Montgenevre had 30+cm, and where we ended up, Claviere 14km at altitude 40cm and a light breeze, and a friend who I suggested should go to the Queyras, which is 32km by crow, had 50cms.
A classic Retour D'Est
Then North of the Lautaret, Northern French Alps respectable amounts too.
We really have missed out this season 
Anyway was a good road trip and finally, have one daughter enjoying off-piste, trees, along with some combat skiing
This was quite steep and deep
A little bit more mellow
But it was quite tough seeing some awesome lines being put in up in the bowls dropping in from Montgenevre

Same this side of the Lautaret. Maybe 20 cms here but the Chartreuse had 50 odd CMS.
Any more news on the FL for Thursday and Friday as seems quite a big snow/rain system.

I assume there is some kind of error in the Wepowder models predicting 2 meters of snow for the high alpine this weekend?

Er, does there appear to be too much snow now? Can they stop predicting 20-50cm per day for when we get there this coming weekend and predict some sunshine please.

appears to be snowing again in the Arlberg with more on the way, only concern is the warmth over the coming weekend and wether that results in r*** or snow!
