with more snow forecast for the week to come... although highish temperatures have meant that the snow in Europe has been quite wet, and so the off piste conditions have been a little challenging.
Across European resorts the reports are unanimously good, with sustained heavy snowfalls over the past week, leading to freshened pistes, and chaotic transfers. In
Les Arcs there has been enough snow that tree wells are a problem, but the skiing is otherwise great under blues skies today.
Les Deux Alpes has had heavy snowfall, although the nature of the snow has lead to challenging off piste conditions, and continuing high winds make powder unlikely.
Les Gets has also had plenty of new snow, although temperatures are slightly on the high side and some rain is forecast for later this week.
Chamonix is also having "very heavy" snowfall apparently.
Val Thorens and the rest of the 3 valleys are skiing well, with some beautiful pictures.
Tignes has also had even more new snow on top of an already well established base this week.
Serre Chevalier has also had about a foot of snow at resort level, with the promise of even more higher up..
In Switzerland conditions are also excellent, in
Zermatt our mighty leader reports "lots" of new snow, and no sign of the reported sausage shortage... As ever we have some beautiful pictures of the conditions this week in
Gstaad.
Austrian resorts are also offering superb conditions, plenty of new snow to be found in
Schladming, and
Obertauern.
Our friendly snowHeads in North America are enjoying great powder sking, with plenty of new snow.
Whistler had some wet snow earlier this week, but normal powder service has now been resumed.
Fernie has also had more snow this week..
Tahoe is also skiing well this week.
