thanks aj, that's a great help...although the snow level seems to vary wildly so it doesn't really give me any firm indication as to whether March is a good time to go!

You don't have to join. You can get access by registering with the site, and registration's free. There is some extra info that's only available to members, but resort info and historical snow reports is available freely.

skanky, as registered users we can only see last years depths. You have to log on (be a member) to be able to see the last 13 years.

zippy, the average depths since 1993, according to SCGB, is approximately 105/213 cms lower/upper slopes and actually shows it as the time of the most depth out of the whole season. I'd say it's a pretty good time to go

You know it makes sense.

Early March should be great for snow, but don't forget the first week is still big French holiday week (Paris, from memory, worst of the lot...) The second week would be much nicer.

Just had a look on the historical section of The SCGB for my resort this year, but it's not listed.
Can anyone help???

no snow in swindon. don't know if its much help, but Kopanik has suffered droughts (literally) from time to time. While the temp at that time of year will be cold enough the problem in the balkans penisula is that the main precipitation (from the adriatic) can expend itself over the dinaric alps and the 2500 metre ranges peaks in Bosnia, Montengero and Albania. Kopanik is on the other side of these with a flatish plain in between. The other weather system, from the east is cold and dry.
That said I think kopanik is well covered with snowmaking nowadays so no worries.

I wonder if it's another effect of global warming but has anyone else noticed the immense drop in snow levels between April and November? Every year it ALL goes. Very disturbing.

Ah that's how long since I went skiing so it explains why I hadn't noticed. Oh well, I'm sure the information's out there elsewhere (a lot of paid for information on the internet is). Just a case of digging.

thanks Cathy, I'm looking at the week of the 10th which according to this nifty website that Bungle showed me, will still have some French half term to contend with but nowhere near as much as the week(s) before...
