, although there is still good cover, a combination of the lower resorts and warmer weather has meant some rain and sleet at resort level, although conditions up the mountain are still very good.
The
Swiss resorts are also in good shape with "unreal" conditions in
Verbier, a great sunny day in
Zermatt, and a foot of fresh snow in
Laax, but mixed conditions in
Gstaad, although they certainly look nice enough in the pictures on the thread.
Elsewhere across Europe, in Italy conditions on piste in
Cervinia,
La Thuile, and
The Dolomites are good, if a little springlike towards the bottom.
Andorra also skied well last week.
In North America
Tahoe has had about five feet of fresh this week, so conditions should be excellent. In Canada both
Fernie and
Whistler have been relatively dry this week, meaning that most skiing has been on the groomers under perfect blue skies.
There has also been more snow in the
UK this week, allowing the rope tow at
Yad Moss to open this week, and of course
Scotland continues to have an excellent season.
Discussion as to what the future may hold continues
here.
